Around 1963 I offered a ride on my new Lambretta scooter to a good looking girl. She looked at it and saw the manufacture's name, Innocenti. Without hesitation she said, "that's Italian". "Inno" means no and "centi" means sense. Anyone who would ride on that thing doesn't have any sense. And she was right! .
