Okay, gang,
I have "invented" a game for us to play together when it is too cold or hot to ride, or when we just don't have time, or if someone's (heaven forbid) scooter is broken down.
I call it "Scooter Trivia". The questions are to start out easy, and progress to harder. (Remember, Google is a fabulous tool)
Okay, here's the first question. The first person to come up with the correct answer gets an "Atta girl", and has the privilege of asking the next question. Go!
Q: In what country was the Vespa scooter first produced?
A:
