Would You Sport A Helmet Like This?

We have been discussing helmets quite a bit lately at Vespa Lexington. With spring just around the corner helmet sales are up, and we are looking to add several new and exciting lines of helmets to the Vespa Lexington brand roster. More to come on that!

I just ran across some very amusing helmets from the Italian hat company Borsalino. While these helmets might work riding down the streets of Aspen, Beverly Hills, or Monte Carlo I don’t think they would go over as well here in Lexington Kentucky. I really could not see myself wearing one of these, but I am pretty sure our boy Michael would probably sport one. I know for sure this guy would wear one. A few photos of the Borsalino helmets can be seen below and you can check the full line out along with the companies history by clicking here.

The weather is going to be great this weekend (fingers crossed), so come on out to Vespa Lexington and let us help you pick out your new Vespa or Piaggio scooter!

$0 Down / $0 Payments / 0 Interest for 6 Months is back!

With spring and warmer weather right around the corner, there is no better time to buy a new Vespa or Piaggio scooter. This time of year offers the best availability for finding that scooter that fits your wants and needs. In addition to good availability, Vespa/Piaggio is offering a really strong incentive to purchase right now by offering $0 Down / $0 Payments / 0 Interest for 6 months (with approved credit). It’s the same incentive they were offering in Feb, though this time it’s through Sheffield Financing. It’s really a great way to keep a little cash in your pocket and spread the purchase/payments over 6 months, while paying 0 interest! It’s a great deal. For the details and the fine print on the program, please click here.

In addition to offering the Sheffield financing, we also offer some incredible financing through The University Of Kentucky Federal Credit Union. Just stop on in, or give us a ring 859.523.8555 for additional information.

Lastly, we just got word that we have another shipment of new Vespa and Piaggio scooters arriving this Friday to Vespa Lexington. On the way, we have a Vespa LXV in the Sienna, a Vespa GTV in the Sienna, a Piaggio BV 250 in the Gray, and a BV 500 in the Black coming.

The weather has been great, stop on out for a test ride!

WKRP Scooter Rally April 3-5 2009, Cincinnati Ohio

The annual WKRP scooter rally hosted by the Ten Year Lates (scooter club) in Cincinnati is taking place April 3-5 2009. Michael just registered last night, and we encourage all of you scooterist here in Lexington and surrounding areas to register as well. It would be great to have a big showing of Lexington scooterist at the rally. Michael has attended the last three years, and says it is a blast! Imagine going on a ride in a pack of 150 or more scooterist, riding through Cincinnati. From the WKRP site:

“Come join us for a weekend of scooter riding, beers, burritos, and the craziness that is WKRP. Best of all, this rally is entirely free!”

Should be a lot of fun. If your down for the trip you can pre-register here. Also let us know if your planning on going (call or email us), maybe a bunch of us can meet here at Vespa Lexington prior to heading up. If weather is permitting we can ride our scooters up there, Michael’s buddy John Hickman has a proposed scooter route to Cincinnati which you can view here.

Vespa Lexington is now a Certified Vespa/Piaggio Service Department!

Michael has returned from California a Jedi “Service” Master with not one but two Vespa/Piaggio technical service training certificates. For those that do not know, Michael spent all of last week in Costa Mesa California, attending the Piaggio Technical Service Training Course.

In just under a weeks time, Michael learned about the start to finish service procedures for every make/model scooter offered by Vespa & Piaggio. To say the least, he said it was a bit overwhelming! He met a lot of great people, learned a wealth of knowledge and is fired up to start implementing everything he learned from the course at Vespa Lexington.

With warmer weather and spring just around the corner, it is a great time to get your scooters over here for a nice spring tune up. In addition to servicing Vespa and Piaggio scooters, we will also offer service for most major scooter makes and models. We hope to see you soon and assist you in all of your scootering needs!
