My daughter popped home from shopping and said, "Padre', get your gas can and hop in the truck - there's a lady with a Vespa on Fountain ave that needs help!"
Coming home my daughter saw a young lady pushing her red Vespa along the street. She rolled down her window and asked if she needed help.
Lady said she is pretty sure she's run her new scooter out of gas.
She was quite a ways from a gas station so my daughter told her that she could be back with a can of gas in less than 20 mins if she didn't mind waiting.
The gal said OK.
We found her resting in a front yard, scoot parked on the sidewalk.
Looking at my old plastic gas can...she told me that she was advised to only use "good gas" in her new Vespa - I assured her that my can of Shell Nitro 93 octane IS the good stuff.
I gave he several seconds of gas. It took a bit of cranking for it to reach her injector - but it fired up nicely.
She was tired and wanted to head home - so she thanked me after trying to pay me. And off she went. Pretty red Vespa...maybe a 150?
She said she bought it in Cincinnati...which is about 60 miles away.
She was wearing a helmet - but short-shorts and a sleeveless blouse with sneakers.
Did I get a picture?....of an attractive young gal in white short-shorts..on her red scooter?
Not if you knew my daughter.
Still, it was nice to be able to assist a fellow scooter rider.

Good on you both.
Should have snapped a photo of both your daughter and the lady for your daughter's social media page. Most young ladies around here would not hesitate to do so.

Or at least a picture of her Vespa.

Or at least a picture of her Vespa.
And here is a mark of the man. Everyone accepts this story as true despite the lack of photographic corroboration! Stig, you're a legend.

Or at least a picture of her Vespa.
This is the best I can do...
I wore my old Speedo, from 1977, to take the photo. (females were getting ready for work - so I slipped out unnoticed....but, "What's the matter with the dog?!"
Pup didn't care for the Speedo.

Speedo mean the same over there? What our Aussie Pals call "budgie smugglers"? That musta been a sight!

The Speedo brings back memories when I worked at a city pool. Speedos were required business dress for the staff.
