What a difference a year makes. OK, so, it may not seem like that much of a difference at first… but here’s Rosa now, vs last year about the same time. Can you find the differences?
I’m honestly not in the market for a new scooter, but I might just have to change my mind. This morning I got a coupon in my email for $700 off a TN’G Venice LX, and $1,400 off a TN’G DR 150cc. That translates to $895 for the Venice (reg $1,595) and $995 for the […]
spring for security - cheaper than buying a new scooter
6 Comments Published by Crystal March 27th, 2007 in accessories, security.Sadly, one of the stark realities of owning a scooter means that you now own a vehicle that is fairly easy to steal. I never thought scooter theft was a concern where I live, but I’ve had two attempts at my home, and both times the scooter survived, but the cover was stolen. The second […]
first ride of the year! and accessory deals
1 Comment Published by Crystal March 26th, 2007 in accessories, deal alert!, scooter seat covers, upgrades & performance.Rosa is back, and we went on our first ride today. It was only from the mechanic’s about nine miles home, but it was so great to be back on the road again. I can’t even remember when my last ride was.
I still have to put on my summer windshield, and dust off the GIVI […]
serious scooter withdrawal

Just a little something to spice up your afternoon…
Lisa sent me a link to this music video on YouTube, Nessuno Come Noi, or Nobody Like Us. And it’s true, there’s really nothing like this video. I mean, have you ever seen two scooters sharing a romantic glass of oil? Or making out in a movie […]
Remember my friend Lesley, of the Metrochicks? Well, fittingly so, she’s passing on her love of scooters to her super cute son, Nicky. With her permission, I just had to show you this picture she sent to me.
Nicky is riding a Chicco Vespa scooter that he got for his birthday. All he needs, I told […]
dressing the part: Dadadie Brücke scooter dresses
2 Comments Published by Crystal March 6th, 2007 in apparel.I was perusing the Fashion Incubator forum this morning and found a fellow member is also a scooter fan. Dadadie Brücke has an awesome collection of 60s-inspired scooter mini dresses and skirts that will really help any mod girl dress the part - not to mention some great photos of products on vintage scoots.
I posted this over on my scooter seat cover blog, but I had to post it here, too. One of my customers, Sean, won ‘best in class’ with his Vino 125 at a recent scooter show, sporting a tartan fleece scooter seat cover. Congratulations, Sean!
