Everyone is having a blast on these group rides. We are getting calls daily from customers asking when the next group ride is going to be. Everyone is in luck, there are two totally awesome group rides planned for the next two weekend. If you don’t have a scooter thats ok, we sell them. Not only do we sell them, we currently have some hot hot deals on both new and used scooters right now.
First up, our buddy Mike Hall has organized a scenic ride over to Natural Bridge this coming Saturday (October 16). If you are interested, the group will be meeting up at 9 am over at the Starbucks on Boston Road. From Mike:
“We are taking a ride to Natural Bridge on Saturday. We are going to enjoy the Fall Colors. We will be leaving from the Starbucks on Boston Road around 9 am. The morning will be cool so dress for a chilly ride. The view from atop the bridge is awesome. You will want to bring your camera. It is a nice country ride.
If you are looking for a nice scenic ride and great views this should be a good time for the fall colors.”
The following Sunday (October 24, 2010), our homies in the Circle 4 Scooter club will be taking on “Tail Of The Kitten”. A group of guys did a test run this past weekend and Carl Wagoner said “this was the best ride I have ever been on!”. If you know Carl he says this about every ride, but the others in the group seemed to agree. Circle 4 has created a Facebook event page, so if you plan on attending make sure to confirm on Facebook or just show up at the shop on Sunday around 1.
“This is going to be a great ride. Several of us have scoped out different sections. The total mileage is about 60 (or so). We’ll leave about 1:00 and be back in time for supper. The leaves should be still in good color. the roads are small lonesome and gently winding, with some spectacular views/ If you’ve already attended one of our group rides you know how fun they are. If you haven’t please come and find out.”

I ran across this a few weeks back and thought it was pretty awesome. The grand finale of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010 (Motocross Tour) was recently held in Rome Italy. In classic Italian style, Vespa scooters made a appearance. In fact, Italian rider Vito Campobasso tested out the motocross kickers on a vintage Vespa. Check out the photos below and I included a little video of some Vespa action at the event.
You can read about it and check out some more photographs here and here.

The Keeneland fall meet kicks off this Friday October 8th, and the Keeneland commercials featuring a few totally radical Vespa scooters (provided by Vespa Lexington) are airing again. Now we just need to figure out how to get some Vespa scoots on display at the track. Dear Keeneland, if you listen to the Internet lets talk about putting some new Vespa scooters on display during the fall meet. Possibly in exchange for this blog post ????

Crazy Mary’s Whiskey Run (Lexington’s first scooter rally) has come and gone. A great time was had by many, I think between 60-70 people to be exact. Big congratulations are in order for the Circle 4 Scooter Club for organizing and hosting this crazy awesome experience together. A big thanks is on order for the sponsors: The Morris Book Shop, Vespa Lexington (thats us, haha), Corazzo, and Scooter Works. Also just wanted to thank everyone that came out and joined in on the fun. Lets take what we learned and shoot for 200 next year!
One of our good good homies Carl Wagoner has written up a little re-cap of the Crazy Mary’s Whiskey Run which we are going to share with you below. Also there are a ton of great photos floating around. You can view some on our Flickr page and on our Facebook page, check em out and big thanks to Chris Padgett and Michael Wright for capturing all of the fun.
“Kentucky isn’t known for a lot, but it is known to be haven to fast women, beautiful horses, and the best bourbon in the world. Circle 4 SC’s first offering of Crazy Mary’s Whiskey Run featured all three, and much more. The “fast women” we refer to, of course, has only to do with the women riding scooter fast, and there were lots of those. Bourbon and horses had to be close at hand.
The rally, the first scooter rally ever held in Lexington Kentucky, succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of its hosts. Many circumstances colluded to make this event memorable. It really came together nicely. Although at first thought to complicate things (namely lodging), Lexington’s hosting of the World Equestrian Games served in small part to add a little more flavor. Circle 4 decided to take advantage. Friday night kicked off with a group ride to the city’s center, where local girl made good, Broadway/Country Music Star, Laura Bell Bundy was performing on a massive outdoor stage. Best of all it was free. There was plenty of good music, good food, lots of mingling, and more than a little bourbon available on nearly every street corner of this elegant city. After a bit of celebration and seeing what the city had to offer folks drifted off to their accommodations. Looking forward to what would follow.
Saturday began at the friendly confines of one the host sponsors, Vespa Lexington. Registration rolled like clock work. There were lots of locals, a strong hearty contingent from Louisville, Richmond, Manchester, Cincinnati, Dayton and Central Ohio. Ride instructions were given, folks gassed up, and soon enough 70 plus scoots rolled out of South Lexington for a most memorable day.
The ride itself unfolded like a beautifully sculpted work of art. Commercial areas quickly faded into well manicured suburbs, which just as quickly gave way to the rolling hills, gentle twisties, and working farms of the region, winding its way to Nonesuch, KY. (Yes there really is such a place). After departing this sprawling metropolis of 63, the route snaked its way basically north. By way of tiny twisty unlined roads, the long line of scooters rolled past harvested tobacco fields, mighty rivers, flowing streams, majestic palisades and countless beautiful views, arriving finally at the gracious grounds of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Buffalo Trace is the oldest continuously operating Bourbon distillery in the world. The folks there fed the group, and then conducted a brief, interesting and entertaining tour of the facility ending in a sampling of their wares. After leaving Buffalo Trace, there was a quick jaunt to the Capitol Building in nearby Frankfort, for a group photo. Then the happy pack began its run down the home stretch. Between Frankfort and Lexington are miles and miles of white plank fences full of beautiful thoroughbreds that would run along side our happy band. It was thrilling. Words here cant describe what beauty that is. We rolled through the grounds of world famous Keeneland Race Course finally to arrive back in Lexington.
The weather which turned suddenly cold and damp threatened to put a damper on the rally’s end, but the boys (Mike and Whit) of Vespa Lexington, pulled our fat out of the fire. After a quick venue shift a wonderful meal of Pulled Pork and Beer was consumed, an abbreviated Gymnkhana was held in the drizzle, awards were given, raffles won, lots of laughs were had, many new friendships were formed, and older ones strengthened. We said our ‘good-byes’ all looking forward to future rallies
There’s a song that has the lyric “sometimes you’re the Louisville slugger, sometimes you’re the ball. Sometimes it all comes together, sometimes it don’t come together at all.” True enough. This day it all came together. Put this one on your calendar for next year.” -Carl Wagoner
