Vespa Lexington

Due to the snow Vespa Lexington will be closed today (01/30/2010). Because today is pretty much the last day of the month (which makes it the last day for the $10 gift certificate), we will be extending the “Take It To The Table Sale” until Feb 2nd. Download your $10 Vespa Lexington gift certificate here, and make sure to redeem it by Feb 2nd.

If you need immediate assistance (service/parts/sales) you can reach us at 859.420.5919. Have a great day and enjoy the snow.

Valentines Day is probably one of my least favorite holidays. Don’t get me wrong I love my wife more than anything in the world. The thing I hate most about Valentines Day is making plans. Lets face it the expectations are high, and if you like me and wait till the last minute you really start running out of options.

Lucky for me, we already have plans this year thanks to our buddy Morgan. This Valentines Day Morgan will be donating her time and talent towards a event she created called “Love In Lex – photographs of love” to benefit the amazing single mothers of Step By Step. Your invited to swing by Busters from 2-4 to have a portrait taken of you and a love one or two (“photographs of love”) by the very talented photographer, Morgan Day Cecil. If you visit our site regularly then you have probably seen some of Morgan’s wonderful photography before, if your not familiar with her work you should spend some time on her website to see just how much of a treat this is.

Vespa Lexington is a proud sponsor of this event and there will be a Vespa on site to be used as a prop for the portraits. What’s more romantic than a Vespa? Baby Cakes cupcakes will also be on hand donating cupcakes, who doesn’t love cupcakes? Portraits by Morgan Day Photography and treats by Babycakes cupcakes are free with a donation to Step by Step.

If your not a familiar with Step By Step, please spend a little time on their website and please watch the video below. My wife works with Step By Step and I know firsthand that the impact that that this program has on young single mothers and their children is absolutely amazing. They could really use your help!

“Improving the lives of young single mothers and their children through support, encouragement, faith and education.” -Step By Step

Who: Everyone in Lexington is invited. Citywide invitation!
What: Portraits of love to benefit the single moms of Step by Step
When: February 14, 2010 2-4pm
Where: Buster’s

When it comes to antique furniture, vintage scooters, vintage motorcycles, and classic cars I have heard the term “barn find” on numerous occasions. Finding a antique treasure thats been tucked away in an old barn for years and years, typically forgotten about and unwanted. I love hearing success stories about folks discovering those unwanted treasures. Being a Vespa dealer we hear about some great finds.

Ever heard of a “bus find”? In the show Antique Archeology, Mike Wolfe (the American Picker) travels coast to coast in search of junk (forgotten treasures). I just ran across a episode where he discovers a bus sitting in a junkyard full of vintage motorcycles and scooters (a 1965 Vespa VB). If your into vintage scooters and bikes, his find will make your mouth water. Check it out below.

There are a ton of junkyards here in Kentucky. If I could find a little time, I would love to travel around digging for treasures. I am sure there are some gems to be found here in the Bluegrass!

There are a ton of good reasons why you should consider buying a new Vespa! My top three include; Fun, Fuel Efficient, and Stylish.

This morning I read an article in the Herald Leader about the rising price of gasoline, and how “gas prices head back to $3 per gallon”. Personally I have noticed gas prices steadily rising during my last three fill ups. What if instead of spending fifty bucks at the pump, you could fill up only spending six bucks? Think about how much money you would save over the course of a year. In fact next time you run across someone that owns and rides a scooter, ask them how much money they save at the pump. I think you will be amazed. Imagine getting anywhere from 60 miles per gallon to over 100 miles per gallon depending on the scooter you choose to buy! Check out Vespa USA’s Vespa Vs. Auto MPG calculator!

If your considering the purchase of a new scooter, you should take a few minutes to read through the Vespanomics platform to see just what kind of economical benefits scooter ownership really offers. What if it could save you close to $6,000 a year?

The term Vespanomics means;

The ecological, economical, and personal satisfaction one achieves after buying a Vespa scooter. Vespanomics promotes embracing motor scootering as a alternative form of transportation to reduce oil consumption, pollution, and traffic congestion.

Check out some of the economical benefits Vespa ownership offers below and make sure to check out the great video made by Vespa Seattle regarding saving money at the pump (hope they don’t mind the props and us using their video for this post). Swing by Vespa Lexington and let us show you how much fun scooter ownership is, and don’t forget we got the BIG RED TAG SALE going on right now. There has never been a better time to by a new Vespa, Piaggio, or SYM scooter!
