    xD So, I saw this noble Italian beauty with my bike today for the first time. A real Piaggio Vespa it was. Not a china bike but I don't think I will be a rascist in that matter. This far my bike has been alone there, but it has changed now.



    Has my bike got a girl friend? What I do if my parking area becomes crowded, that is some kind of third wheel comes around? Do you think there is room for more bikes or should I guard my revire jealously? And what if I wash my bike there as I used to do. Can I give a massage to the Piaggio, wax it well?

    She's a bit bashful, looking the other way. But then again so is your Skyteam. Sometimes it's best to let things develop at their own pace. But if the Piaggio has any Chinese blood in her, she'll have noticed your most excellent license number. That's probably why she parked there in the first place.

    Fingers crossed.

    Yus the body language doesn't promise too much! But well, even though Piaggio is a fine looking lady I don't think it would be able to follow my Skyteam. What about the license number, I did not got it. Don't say it is the best detail in the Skyteam xD

    You didn't notice the plate on ChinaV's WeeeStrom? It's 88888, which I'm guessing is photoshopped since that number would probably fetch a million RMB at auction! It's all a bit of silly superstitious numerology, but 8 in Mandarin is pronounced "ba" which in the superstitious ear sounds like "fa" which is part of the phrase for "get rich". Similarly, 6, pronounced "liu", makes people think of the word for ease and unhindered progress. Your plate has both! As for the XBB, someone with too much time on their hands will probably dream up some significance for that too. Hopefully something good.

    Would hate to see a nice Piaggio go to waste.

    Haha ok 86 = lottery then in practise, not exactly mine thing.


    EDIT: HAHA, now I got it exactly. It is just that I doubt her thought about that, at least since Skyteam is not a HD. If it was a HD, then yes fer sure. This explains the avoidant body language as well xD
