TheScooterScoop

(Ewww… Like a fine cheese, this scoop isn’t very fresh, but it’s deLISH!)

This scoop comes to us by way of 2StrokeBuzz. It seems Portland’s own Dave McCabe discovered it in a 2006 copy of Bike India. He then sent the news to Illnoise back in January who promptly threw it in his dirty sock pile until it started stinkin’ up the place… now, here it stands… in all it’s green glory. According to the article, reprinted at 2sb for your reading enjoyment, Vespa is launching a wham-bam campaign to get India to crank out a slew of new 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers.

I like how the article ends with

“Given Colaninno’s success in making Piaggio and its other subsidiaries most rock solid as also Ravi Chopra’s proven acumen in India, the stage is set for one of the most respected names in the two-wheeler world to return back to India in a manner befitting its previous stature. A 12-month gestation period is expected and the countdown to that has just begun. All Vespa fans, stay tuned.”

It’s like a good old Hardy Boys mystery. Now to see if 1) it actually happens and 2) they will actually import said products to the USA. Hallelujah, holla BACK! (eeks… I’ve been watchin’ WAAY too much “White Rapper Show”.)
