Why would I read only the headline and comment? To gain imaginary internet points which I can spend literally nowhere? No worries my friend, I don't have ADHD and can read 2 minutes long articles. It's not clear to me how a stupid

Also some people have custom made Vespas like I do and to get it approved by the EU as a vehicle I have to export it to Switzerland and then reimport it to my country, but keep on letting your imagination run wild

Woah, cpunk as fuark Good luck getting that approved for street use in the EU but what a beauty. I wish there were driving videos available, I'll patiently wait
