At a stoplight, from a Chevy pickup next to me, as I was coming home from work, a little old lady in the passenger seat says...
"Is that a Vespa?"
Now, I know most lay people don't know the difference between scooters, and I certainly don't take it any way negatively, as Vespa is such a positively recognized brand. But I think this little old lady realized I wasn't riding a motorcycle and had put it together that I was riding a scooter... I was pretty impressed.
Rather than saying "yes," I raised my hand and gave that "sort of" gesture where you flatten your hand and wiggle it a bit... and said "KIND OF." She had a big smile on her face... and I think she understood mine.
