    Many a noob has grabbed a handful of front brake and had the front wheel wash out from under them (luckily I'm not one of them ) but shall I open the 'value of ABS for anyone who isn't a track day veteran' can of worms again? Where are the luddites?

    By the sounds of things he grabbed the brakes and slid off the thing... being a Vespa he might off fallen into the step-thru bit... mental image is still funny as fuck

    yeah dont call the cops, and hope no one else did, and either make sure you can stop in the clear distance in front of you, or else stop caning the poor little vespa and get something with bigger wheels and brakes.

    LOL. Yes, yes it is

    50 km/h on a vespa blowing through a give way sign at a roundabout is pretty crazy!

    There's obviously fuck all wrong with the op's brakes other than a reluctance to use them when approaching give way situations.

    Edit; Love the new handle Steve, suits you
