So, I have decided to get a scooter. That part was easy. Now comes the tough part. A search for the perfect scooter, one that fits my needs, and ultimately, my personality.

If you’re considering purchasing your first scooter but have questions or concerns over hitting the road, right now you could do a lot worse than speaking with the folks at Vespa Brooklyn in Fort Greene.

Three local scooterists Eugene, Carlos and Jeremy, under the moniker Scooter Adventures with sponsorship from Piaggio, Leo Vince, Corazzo and Vespa Brooklyn set out from NYC last Monday heading for Florida’s Key West.

We laughed, we cried, we broke down. Thanks to the folks at NY Scooter Club for another terrific rally. Click on inside for some of the highlights of the weekend.

The festivities kick off this evening at 5.30pm at Williamsburg’s Carbon Negative (former home of McCarren Motors) in readiness for a 7pm ride out down to Coney Island. Click on inside to learn more.

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.
