    What about a tank bag (if it sticks to a vespa tank), one that is magnetic, and small like a handbag. It fits my purse, sunglasses, phone, pen and paper (that's used for the guys, they need things written down - lol). I have one and use it all the time.

    What about a full face helmet.

    Seriously, your face can cop just as much damage when you come off a scoot as it can when you come off a larger bike.

    Wow, fantastic response as per usual,

    Reckon the tank bag would be a go-er, mind you the Vespa has plenty of storage. Reckon it will be either that or an urban style jacket.

    The lurve toys might not get the greatest of receptions mind you.

    Thanks you guys, appreciated

    I can now relax.....

    Yep, I reckon a tank bag is a great idea - that's what my man got me + some perfume. And maybe some little bits and pieces to go in it. Like ear plugs or glove liners or neck warmer etc.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Hmmmm, a tank bag gift pack, reckon could nudge up the brownies with that. Mind you, she does ride a Vespa so it may not work.

    Never mind, resturant and baby sitter booked (all a surprise) and the bouquet on order.

    Cheers

    Can you post a photo of the vespa? Might be able to suggest something scooter related...

    Finally got the missus onto two wheels, she has a wee 50cc Vespa that I have pimped with matching top box etc etc, and she loves it. I went out and got her the scooter open face helmet as well to round it off, so the look is good.

    Now then, tis her birthday in a couple of weeks. For the last couple of years that has meant bling, flowers, a nice meal out and a stay in a fancy hotel / spa etc etc. This year is a different story as she has hinted that something bikey would be the go plus cash is a bit squeezed like all the others. I have written and recorded a song for her this yeat but I'm after something that would be 2 wheeled related.

    So, any ideas girls bikey / scooter wise?

    Cheers my dears
