TheScooterScoop

We’re going to do a little product plugging for the next couple of months.  We’re looking for things that are outstanding or unusual in the scooter world that would make great gift for the Holiday Season (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Three Kings Day, Ramadan, Winter Solstice, Saint Lucia Day, Festivus… did I miss any?).

For the love in your life (and that could be YOU) who is thinking about getting a classic Vespa, this book is indispensable!  Sure it’s not a quick and insightful as hiring your local restoration guru to give it a look over and talk you through it, but if you don’t have that luxury then this could be the best reference.  Oh, and think of how smart you’ll sound the next time someone asks you what you think about their Vespa.  Here’s some info from inside the cover:

The two stroke Vespa is rightly regarded as an iconic scooter. It’s initial purpose was to provide low cost transportation to the masses in the 1950s, but it evolved through the vibrant ’60s to became a symbol of the burgeoning youth culture, and on into the ’90s when it became firmly entrenched as an Italian icon. The history of this phenomenon has been well documented, as has the subculture that surrounds it, but there has been no previous attempt to provide a guide to buying one of these classic scooters.

This book will help ensure that you avoid the main pitfalls and end up with your very own slice of La Dolce Vita on the driveway.
