What happens when you get 600 – 800 scooterists to converge on a US city? Increased smog levels? An overextended emergency services department? A bunch of confused gawkers? Besides all of that… YOU GET AMERIVESPA! That’s right! It’s time again for the Vespa Club of America’s annual scooter rally; the biggest of it’s kind (in the USA). This year, if you haven’t already heard, the host city will be San Antonio, Texas and you know us Texans are mighty excited about it. They will be packing more scooter fun into four days than you’ve had all year!
Here’s the deal though, you want to get registered NOW. “Why now”, you ask? Because if you register before the end of day Saturday you will not only get a goody bag full of super-awesome schwag and a drop-dead gorgeous t-shirt and patch but you’ll ALSO get THIRTEEN free raffle tickets! That’s $13 LUCKY dollars worth of prize winning chances FREE!
So, go to their site, make sure you’ve got $75 bucks in your account and register HERE>
In the interim, here’s a slice from last year’s Concours d’Elegance:

I hope you can make it! There’s a taco here with your name on it.

Thanks for the reminder! I am wondering if I shouldn’t truck over one of the barn find Vespa 400s since they are nearby. I can’t decide if it would be worth the hassle. Would people like to see that kind of thing?

WOULD they!? Hell YES! You could probably enter them into the Concours d’Elegance as “Original condition US edition Vespa 400″. The only hassle would be fielding all the “Howmuchyawantferit?” questions.

That would be too funny. I shouldn’t even clean the dirt off! I am a little curious about the 13 raffle entries thing. I didn’t see that anywhere else, but there was something about entries to win two LX50s for early registrants on both facebook and twitter.

Well, the 13 tix thing was a verbal confirmation… they were still ironing out the details when last we talked. They are actually giving away like 5 scooters or so, so you might want to drop a Benji on raffle tickets when you get there.
