Vespa Servizio {wallclock}

 

i don’t have a garage, but if for some ungodly reason i were talked into buying some abomination of a suburban house, and it came with a garage, i wouldn’t be averse to putting this in it.

i’d be the one in the garage most of the time anyway. let’s be real, while we’re [...]

The Vespa 400

I didn’t know about this, so i’m posting it here to remind myself to go back later and look into it more.

Larry Crowne, Scooterist : 2strokebuzz.

2strokebuzz review of this movie. tough but fair.

although i haven’t seen it, for reasons already stated. (i lost my battle with cynicism many years ago – although personally, i call it realism – probably because i never found any particular reason to fight it in the first place. )

i’m kidding. i have no idea whether that’s a People or not. but i bet it’s going like 10 miles an hour.

Sandra’s search for iconic mod photo

 

everyone has seen this image, of course:

 

kind of sad:

A HULLBRIDGE woman is searching for an iconic photo of her brother. Sandra Barrett, 68, wants to trace the original picture of her brother Raymond Kelly on his Vespa. The image has become the defining symbol of the Mod movement, despite Raymond’s [...]

“sport,” “scooter,” and how i don’t think they really go together

Scooter of the year – 2010 – Detroit scooter | Examiner.com.

i’m trying to talk myself out of my possibly irrational lack of respect for the “sport scooter.” which is pretty much based on the sentiment:

if you want to ride a sportbike, for shit’s sake stop pussyfooting around and buy an actual f’in sportbike.

gift shopping.

HEY!

dauntless reader, i know you know a rider who would like this lovely gift. (and it’s not me, this time: it won’t go with my décor at all. i mean it.) it’s on-trend but ought to age well, has a nice color scheme and good use of whitespace, and it’s extremely reasonably priced. a [...]

scooter-wheelchair crash – St. Petersburg

Family, friends remember victim in St. Petersburg scooter-wheelchair crash – St. Petersburg Times.
