Just a place to hang out since we can't all go to Carney Park or the Teen Club or the Outdoor Theater or AFSouth Beach or the Cove or the Galleria Umberto or the Pizzacatta or Edenlandia or....
I remember how much fun it was to ride on the back of Bob Galvin's motorcycle (I don't remember the brand). I had a red Vespa 50cc that I drove everywhere . My dad had a Lambretta 150cc scooter that he let Lisa Ringhausen and I take to Ischia during winter break. We had a blast! From that point, I was hooked and have had a 150cc red Honda scooter that zoom around town.
I had a blast on the back of Fred Anderton's Vespa and John Simms's Moto Guzzi but I think their's were 125s. My mom vetoed my getting one. She still doesn't approve of me riding my 1854 cc Star Roadliner.
I could hit 100 kph going DOWN via Petrarca. Going up was another story. With a passenger on the back, I could just barely make it up the steep lower section.
