Vespa Brooklyn have just announced an amazing deal commencing Columbus Day. Take $1000 off all 2009 Vespa LX150s, S150s and GTS250s in stock.

We reported last week that Vespa Brooklyn were extending their current $500 off deal from their Vespas to their entire showroom of Vespas, Piaggios, Aprilias and Moto Guzzis. Today we got word that this offer has been extended through the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

Late breaking news from the folks over at Vespa Brooklyn in Fort Greene: This weekend (inspired by the rain perhaps?) the dealership is extending its current deal ($500 off all new Vespas) to its entire showroom, with $500 off all Vespas, Piaggios (including the MP3), Aprilias and Moto Guzzis.

6 weeks or so since taking the MSS 3 day Basic Rider Course, and 2 and a half months or so since beginning the entire process, here I am street legal. Finally.

If I learned one thing through this entire process is that it took a lot longer than I imagined, but as my girlfriend pointed out over the weekend, perhaps this is one process that shouldn’t be rushed.

Got all my insurance paperwork through today.

While I was tempted to buy from Vespa SoHo, the idea of crossing the bridge out of Manhattan on my first day of riding did not sit well with me. After a little research I came across Vespa Brooklyn.
