I can't tell you how many times we (Chris and I, and a group of friends) have talked about renting a bunch of Vespas, and riding up as a posse (in full gear/leathers) to bike night one night.

Too funny...

LOL...

I'm surprised he's not doing a stoppie.

haha thats quite possible, since that thing put a hurtin on me pretty bad. i was cruising thru the lot and i guess forgot i was on the scoot and not the bike...well leaned too far, and i guess the floorboard hit and slid the rear out. i went tumbling and the scoot slid about 30ft and flipped to a stop. i was all banged up (flip flops, shorts, t-shirt of course). my neighboor missed a week of work from trying a wheelie on it.

That's hillarious. Awhile back my gal and I were saying that in Mid-January we should suit up in all our leather gear, helmets, gloves and all, and go walk around the mall.
"Yeh, we rode here".

We thought of that after seeing all these guys at the bike show in January, with their leather vests, riding boots and stuff who so obviously drove there.

My roommate once played Grand Theft Auto a lot on his computer.. he was weirdly fond of stealing a red moped and doing drive-bys on it

*ahem* I had to make this distinction to my Sales Manager at a dinner recently, but I'll do it again.

A "pocket rocket" is a vibrator.

A "pocket bike" is a little teensy motorcycle.

(and while both are fun to ride, one of them doesn't require gear!

)

I have seen a couple of pocket Rockets in action (lucky me) and wearing a helmet might not be a bad idea. If the person watching is sitting too close to the Rocketeer a helmet is a smart move for him as well.
