1967 Vespa Super 150

Fotos soon!

I just got the scooter named above. Total restore from stem to stern. It's called the "tree frog" and once I post some images, you will know why.
It's a piece of art.
It's heavy as hell.
I'm in love with it.
Learning to ride well on this vintage beast.


MORE TO COME!!

Scootin' Round and Round

After closing down the shop for the season, I decided to go on a scooter scouting mission. I was headed to Sedona, Arizona to see if that might be a suitable location for a 2nd ZootScoot! The area was beautiful, the climate perfect, and the tourist traffic optimal, but there just wasn't a good place to ride!
Coming into the canyons from Flag Staff was a fun ride, but the speed limit of 40mph was not limiting the cars from going 55mph and above. I felt ok on the scooter, but there is no way I could send non experienced riders out there.
Then I was pulled over by a police officer. My plate less scooter drew attention. Once she verified that Vino 49 did not require plates, I asked her were a good place to ride would be.
I took off on a 5 mile little loop which was great until I got to the back mile. It was unpaved, eroded and treacherous. Not good for myself as an experienced rider... out of the question for anyone else.
So, sad to say... Sedona is not longer a candidate.

The hunt will continue for another beautiful location for a future ZootScoot addition.
