hello you dont know me and i dont know you .. so lets meet !
my name is basilis,
im currently studding ethical hacking (thus the name hacker-on-a-vespa came into my mind) in university of Sunderland, and I'm on my 3rd year. few days ago after i finished with my last assignment for uni i was talking with a friend named Kostas on facebook (an old friend from my hometown kalamata) who is currently living in the UK also and we were trying to find crazy stuff to do. my first idea was to visit India for a month! but then he said its ok but not that crazy, after a mind-storm of few ... seconds the craziest thing was THERE! lets travel around the Mediterranean from Greece through Europe to Morocco Egypt Turkey and then back to Greece ( i know i missed many countries ill explain you later about the trip ) ... and surprisingly this wasn't crazy enough for kostas... so the next line that followed actually completed the idea...
kostas: yeah but how?
a big pose........................................
me: What about vespas?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!.....
the answer took less than 1 millisecond to come from him
kostas: HMmmm.... HELL YEAH!
Do not judge us yet! a little background info would help understand that we are not crazy ... WE ARE INSANE!!!
yeah but why vespas? i think kostas's saying "yes" would be even if i told him to do it on a bicycle or even with roller skates ... ( i hope he wont read this line as this is even crazier and he might insists doing it lol )
The vespa (pre)history...
my first touch with this awesome piece of machinery was back in 2005 i was only 15 years old and while i was at my village for summer vacation my grandfather gave me a vespa 50s (similar to the one attached to this post) and showed me how to ride it. All other guys had motorcycles from 50 to 125 cc with fancy plastics and stuff but when i ride my old 2-stroke vespa i felt like a king, it was something different i couldn't tell what but different. the first week i think i refilled its 5 liter tank 2 times per day maybe more... i didn't care about what i would eat drink or do as long as it included riding this 50cc beast. For the next 3 months this was my life and the year after that... it was love with the first sight...
i will never forget my first week! (i can't say my first time as it was more of a week ...)
my first race was against my best friend on this time yiannis who had his older brother's Yamaha Town Mate ( a 4-stroke 50cc motorcycle ) and i won! that's when the first sight love became a deeply understanding and loving relationship!
So let the madness begin !
