Warm weather means increased scooter skinny dipping

Betty Babick shares this photo of a London Vespa in the drink. I have a feeling it’s not a recreational swim, but rather the old “ditch” maneuver that seems rather common in the UK.

Seems to be in pretty good shape minus all the H2O.

    For whatever reason I cannot comment on the Daelim thing. Hyosung is another Korean scooter maker that is distributed here.

    Otherwise, good review and I look forward to reviewing it myself at some point.

    Hey Bryce! Sorry about that. For some reason my default setting was “Do not allow comments”. It’s fixed now and I’ve updated the post with the poor, forgotten Hyosung. I’ll have to make it up to them. Maybe I’ll buy them flowers.

    You should take it for a ride some time and let us know your opinion on the Delfino.

    Good ol’ Dudel! I missed out on that Bangkok show… but I check out those RAY and Sphere scoots. Interesting. I dig the color changing action of the Ray and… well… I’ll have to take another look at the Sphere. It didn’t grab me right away. Looked too concepty. Thanks for the alerts though! I’ll have to post a quick round up after the dust settles here.

    Cheers!

    I took this picture when I walked along Regents Canal in London, UK. Someone had dumped the poor thing in the water. You see ‘dead’ scooters a lot in London, particularly burnt ones. What a waste!
