Peter Moore in
Vroom with a View:
“Thanks to
movies like The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, a Harley Davidson was seen as
the domain of the dangerous loner. But there was something refreshing,
reassuirng and imenently likeable about Vespas. And it wasn’t a disadvantage.
The girls did dig them. On every
Vespa poster, in so many movies, you’d always see a gorgeous girl on the back.
And not some troubled vixen trying to get her back at her parents by going out
with a bad boy, either. She was always a well-dressed, well-adjusted beauty
with brains as well as as large
breasts. At least, that’s how I saw it.” (228)
