Ahem, I prefer commuting on my Vespa to the 695, much easier and cheaper, and the Duchess hasn't lost that much resale value either, as the clutch isn't worn. It also makes the weekend rides so much more special. I'm not alone in this either, I know loads of peeps with big bikes who choose to use a scoot for the commute.

Some of those scooters could have initially been parked a bit further from your bike, but some inconsiderate people, bikers and scooterists alike, choose to move scooters to make space, as these bikes are lighter to move. Sometimes, they are even moved outside a bike bay by a very inconsiderate biker, leading to a £100 fine for the scooterist.
