Tough Guys

I don't know why I find this so funny, but every few days when I am walking through the main square I see the same "gang" of young people socializing and playing hackysack. This group appears to be a tougher crowd, they wear a lot of leather, dark colors, combat boots and probably fit the international stereotypes around the "too cool for school" group of teenagers or young 20-somethings. But what I find absolutely hilarious is that they all ride mopeds , a.k.a Vespas. You know the 50-100cc vehicles that the yuppie, urban environmentally conscious young person would commute to work on in the western Europe or maybe even in some communities in the states. I almost can't look at their "oh so tough" gestures and mannerisms and take them seriously as they fire up their ride with the high pitched whine of a two cycle engine...
