Vespa Scooters are the Coolest

Why Are Vespa Scooters So Cool?
By Marek Kamella

Vespa scooters have been around for decades and yet there's something about them that still exudes style and elegance (which are words you wouldn't normally associate with a motorised scooter!) First built in the 1940's the Vespa scooter was designed as an alternative to the motorbike. With it's machinery and oily components hidden away by the rear engine casing it allowed a person to be able to ride a motorised bike without having to worry about oil stains on their clothing. Vespa scooters were first produced in Italy where style and elegance are qualities that every Italian aspires to. Vespa embodied this Italian spirit achieving a balance between machine and elegance.

The image of tanned and suited Italians riding around on their Vespa scooters with their Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses was irresistibly cool. Never one to miss a trend, Hollywood soon cottoned onto the idea of the visual impact the Vespa scooter possessed and before too long the Vespa found itself on the silver screen. Featuring in movies such as La Dolce Vita, An American in Paris, The Conversation, American Graffiti, Quadrophenia and many more the Vespa scooter quickly became something of a mechanical superstar. Perhaps the greatest endorsement Vespa can take is that many of the world's top celebrities have chosen to own a Vespa scooter in their PRIVATE life.

Celebrities such as Jay Kay (Jamiroquai), Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, Anthony Quinn, Henry Fonda, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro, Sarah Jessica Parker have all owned Vespa scooters. Mickey Rourke was even arrested on his Vespa for drink driving! Vespa scooters have become more and more popular in recent years due to the current trend for retro fashion but also scooters in general have become more popular due to their green credentials. Running costs for a scooter are a fraction of that of a motor car and in today's climate of high oil prices then it's never been a better time to buy a Vespa scooter.

My name is Mark and I run a website called http://www.scooterstoreuk.com which is a website devoted to Vespa scooters. If you're looking to buy a Vespa then please take a quick look at the website for more detailed information on the Vespa story and to browse through all the Vespa scooters we have on sale.

Suzuki Scooters: Time to Give Them Another Look

When you consider the quality and reputation of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters receive much less publicity than some of the more favored names like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their vintage chic appeal, but for anyone looking to buy a modern scooter, it's tough to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:

1) Suzuki scooters are economical to both purchase and maintain

My initial experience with Suzuki was a dirt bike back in the 80's. It ran flawlessly, was gorgeous, and was one of the most economical bikes available, taking into account the craftsmanship of the bike. Suzuki's motor scooters are similar: you get a lot of value for your dollar.

2) They are economical to operate

Depending on the engine size you purchase, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.

3) They are expertly crafted

Suzuki scooters are built to the utmost standards of reliability, and are respected for their smooth operation, straightforward clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the convenience of a smooth clutch system, especially for new riders who might be easily distracted!

4) They are safe

Along with their excellent engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might take for granted. As an example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced suspension system. Think that's there for comfort? If so, you'd be partially correct. It's there for both comfort and safety. By keeping the scooter wobble to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is increased.

5) There is a wide selection

Whether you're considering a small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model to fit your needs. For neighborhood riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all the power you need. But you can upgrade to a 450cc model for around $6,000, and move all the way up to a 650cc for around $9,000.

Like their full-size counterparts, Suzuki scooters are known for their characteristics of performance and reliability. If you're looking for a premium scooter at a great price, be sure to investigate a Suzuki. When you begin price shopping, you'll find that there is also a thriving second hand scooter market, so do your due diligence before purchasing!

Note: I am NOT a representative of Suzuki -- just a loyal customer who likes Suzuki's fun and cool scooters.

How can I resolve an issue of a group of lads always driving their poxy scooters/bikes up and down the road?

For some reason they enjoy going up and down the same road, back and forth for upto 45 minutes before they get bored. Then perhaps return for some more 'fun' a few hours later. It is a quiet road off the busy roads and ideal not to be spotted by police. They make a racket from their bikes, or if they stop and chat very loudly to each other which is just as disturbing. As it is not a urgent matter, would the police come along and tick them off, assuming they get here before they go? There are several families with young kids, and many pensioners who don't like it either.
I myself have three cats (one of which is pregnant) and our house is on the corner (where the road also follows along). My cats always cross this road to get to some woods and tiny field. If any of them were hurt, I'd be really peeved off, as would the bikers when captured and tortured. Peacefully or not, what do you think can be done to sort them out?
In terms of bursting their tyres, many cars have to drive along the road as well..including mine

I'll give you an honest sensible answer instead of inciting criminal damage (tyre slashing) or further offences of causing danger to a vehicle on a road (piano wire across the road etc) or wasting Police time by false reporting of an accident (£80 ticket-able offence) etc etc

If they are are taxed, insured and have licences then there's technically nothing you can do as they have as much right to drive on the road than anyone else. If however they are committing offences then they can obviously be dealt with but the Police would have to catch then first and from experience, this is not easy as the officer would have to be there at the time and would have to be able to physically stop them (not as easy as it sounds).

If however, their actions are causing a nuisance, they could be given a warning under section 59 of the Police reform act which basically means that their manner of driving has caused some annoyance or distress and they are warned to behave. If they don't, they can have their vehicles seized and disposed of if necessary. This is something that would have to be proved or witnessed by an officer though so again not easy to do but not impossible.

Hope this helps
