    I quite like it, in a quirky kind of way.

    <Confession time>

    I used to own, and ride, a `74 Vespa Primavera. Pink, it was. Bright pink.
    Luckily, hordes of leather-clad men with muzzies failed to wave their
    hankies at me or chase me in an amusing Benny Hill stylee, and thus my
    sexuality remained uncompromised.

    **** knows what I was thinking at the time I bought it....

    I must admit, it's unusual and I quite like it. Just for the novelty value
    of course.
    Ahem (clears throat in a manly way).

    Yep count me as a fan also, I suspect it looks less pink in
    real life...

    <then in John Candy style a la Planes, Trains and
    Automobiles>

    "did you see the game last night?"
    "yeah great game"
    "great game"

    <back to normal>

    Mind you my favorite on eBay at the mo' is this one...

    It would be great for taking my mopeds out to runs and
    shows...!

    I haven't been to ebay to look at it, but according to my big book of SOMs
    [1], a Flandria Primus is... a Flandria Primus: a SOBM [2].

    [1]De Grote Bromfiets Encyclopdie
    [2]where B = Belgian.

    Despite being a moped, according to the auction page, it's

    "classed as a two wheel motorcycle."

    Made Oi larf...

    Have the 500/4 in the kitchen and the MZ in bits in the living room. Ready
    for the rebuild to begin (new stainless fasteners arrived today).
    Cheers

    Phil old chap, it's been pointed out to you a few times already, but
