Where's the Yinzers?

Scooter Dude with pinup girlModern Vespa, Piaggio and Aprilia Scooter Riders of Pittsburgh

The old Scoot'n Yinzers club website is GONE. In its place, I have set up a Facebook Page for enthusiasts of Modern Vespa, Piaggio and Aprilia motor scooters. Yeah, the name is crazy long, so for short, you could call it Modern Vespas of Pittsburgh or Modern Vespas and Piaggios, which allows for the nifty acronym MVP.

The original idea of the Scoot'n Yinzers was to create a community without the hierarchies of your typical club. Plus, nearly a billion people already use Facebook, so its good place to grow, and of course it is free. You can get to the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/scootnyinzer or http://www.scootnyinzers.com/facebook

 

Got the Jettin pipe. The GT is finished

I just installed my Jettin Industries pipe. Looks awesome and has a nice mellow-ballsy sound. Much nicer than my son's Prima. I could have got a Leo Vince for $299 on sale from Motorsports Scooters, but in the end, I liked the look of the RPG better and ceramic coating doesn't discolor with heat.

His and Hers 2009 Piaggio Fly 150s (and baby makes three)

This is a very nice story about a very nice young couple that bought a pair of matching scooters. They purchased these 2009 Piaggio Flys as wedding presents to each other and even incorporated them in the wedding. Nine months later a baby was on the way.

WARNING: Scooters may cause pregnancy or lead to the kind of irrational behaviour which may lead to pregnancy.
