I still can’t believe that my company scooterseatcovers.com is officially two years old this coming week.
Even though I’ve had a couple of years to think about it, when someone asks me what I do for a living, I still don’t really know how to describe it. According to fashion industry definitions, I’m officially (I think) […]

When I saw Bill Bremner’s “Taxi” Yamaha Vino 125 pics over at the Vino125 group, I had to write to ask him if I could share a photo with you.
His mods include:

Memphis Shades Solar windshield
Front turn signals / running lights
Milano seat re-upholstered
Backrest re-upholstered and powder-coated
Rear rack powder coated
New paint job with 3M Scotchgard and checkered […]

If you haven’t been reading the comments or I haven’t written back to you, I want you all to know that Bob is doing very well, and has been home for a few days. One reader wrote to find out how to donate blood in Bob’s name - I guess you can designate blood to […]

This post is less about scooters and more about asking for your good thoughts and wishes for my brother Bob Waters, who has been in ICU for a number of days with severe internal GI hemoraging. Right now, his prognosis is good, since they finally found the source of the bleeding yesterday and were able […]

I need some advice: My sisters and I have decided that we’re going to save up our pennies to take a trip to Italy some time in 2008, but we can’t decide when we should go.
My sisters have graciously agreed that a visit to the Piaggio Museum is a must - and they even agree […]

I received the semi-annual Victoria’s Secret last-chance sale catalog in the mail today, and tucked among the clearance items were two photos of models with pink Vespa ETs and a PX(page 42).
In other news, my ET4 wouldn’t start today, but maybe it’s because it was only 10 degrees out…

Got an opinion about the best motorcycle or scooter blog? What manufacturer has the best web site, and which has the worst? What’s the best scooter of 2006, and the ugliest motorcycle? Is there an invention or accessory announced in 2006 that you wish you’d thought of?
Well, get over to the Motorcycle Bloggers International web […]

I’m slowly but surely getting stuff up on ebay for sale, from chrome bits (a rear rack; some ET crash bars on the way), to bags, to other things scooter related. Please check them out here! Feel free to write with any questions. More should be making it up there by the weekend.

Declare a resolution, and who knows, it just might come true. I received a note from a Piaggio marketing rep, who is going to try to get an MP3 into my hands for a try-out. In the meantime, though, check out Jess’ excellent MP3 review over at Modern Vespa.

This morning I opened my Google Alerts to find my name in there. The ClickZ marketing-news blog did a piece called “Two Years After Launching Brand Blogs, Vespa Forgets Them.”
If you’re not a Vespaway reader, you probably hadn’t read the post I wrote when I left that gig behind last November. I’d been a volunteer […]
