Vespa 60th Anniversary Film

All in Italian - but a great flavour of the Vespa history!

Fred Perry 100th Anniversary Vespa

For it’s 100th anniversary Fred Perry has collaborated with Piaggio to create a limited run of Fred Perry Vespa scooters. The Fred Perry Clothing company has long been associated with the British Mod scene, so the Fred Perry X Vespa collaboration comes as no surprise. Looks like the scooters are going to be available in a very limited run of 100 scooters to be offered in Europe, Japan, and the USA sometime in August. We are loving the details of the Fred Perry edition Vespa, especially the cool colours - would go so well with an Armadillo Khaki Parka!

Amazing! Riding unprotected!?

We were in central London yesterday and it's an obvious thing to say but it's also the scooter capital of the UK...big wheels, small wheels, Italian scooters, Japanese scooters, Chinese scooters!

There are simply thousands of scooter riders in London, and it never fails to amaze us just how many ride unprotected!

We saw scooter riders in thin rain jackets and most in regular coats which may provide a small degree of weather protection but meet the tarmac at even 30mph and it won't be just a a cloud of feathers or filling that's all over the road.

There are so many great scooter jackets available now from Tucano Urbano, Corazzo and Armadillo Scooterwear that no-one should ride in fear of the consequences!

Check 'em out fellow scooter riders!
