| 18 June, 2013 - Video: Unbelievable - Things You Can Do With A Vespa Scooter | #Video #Vespa #Scooter #Weird - We know that motorcycles and scooters are great forms of transportation and even entertainment. We have also seen many cases of motorcycles and scooters used to carry everything, including the kitchen sink.
We have also seen other, often weird, applications for our favorite two wheelers. But this one beats them all. Here is one way of using a Vespa scooter you would never have thought off.
The hint is in the photo. Look at where the arrows are pointing. Know what is going to happen in the video? Have a look.

| 17 December, 2012 - Xmas2012: Shine A Light With Vespa Scooters | Christmas is a great time, but usually it's dark in the morning, and therefore difficult to get out of bed. I think we all suffer from this. Standard alarm clocks will probably do the job, but they are nowhere as stylish as this Christmas gift.
The Vespa headlight alarm clock.... very stylish, like their scooter. The clock's shape was inspired by the very first and original Vespa scooter's headlight, so you can't go wrong...........

| 6 December, 2012 - Video: Motorcycles and Sexual Positions - Moto Kama Sutra | In a very well done, even at times very funny, video take on the Kama Sutra and motorcycles. In other words in this Russian video, you get to see "What if a motorcycle was a sexual position?". You get to see all types of motorcycles and their sexual position explained. Don't worry, there's no talking, so you'll not need to translate the Russian.
Don't worry, the video is SFW, except your colleagues might be bothered with your laughing. I love the Tourer Motorcycle position....
Have a look, and don't forget to laugh.

| 17 October, 2012 - Video: Vespa - Fashion Unchanged | Here's a very nicely done, upbeat, TV commercial for Vespa scooters. The advertisement is from Vespa India.

| 13 July, 2012 - Video: Vespa - Betta Getta Vespa..The Olympics are Coming! | Here's a very nicely done TV commercial from a London based Vespa dealer, R. Agius Scooter. It's a funky little animation why people should get a Vespa scooter to beat the enormous forecasted traffic jams in London during the Olympics.
Even the underground is not going to help; nor will the "Boris Bikes". The only solution to getting to work is a scooter, preferably a Vespa.

| 22 June, 2012 - Is A Vespa Scooter The Place To Store Your Jewels? YES | Most women, and some men I know, have jewelry that when not used, needs to be stored. Placing them around the house will automatically imply that you'll need to search for them at a later stage.
Many folks have jewel boxes, sometimes bland, sometimes decorated. But here's one jewel box that would fit in perfectly in a motorcycle or scooter riding household: a Vespa sidecar jewel box from "Object d'Art". It's called "The Mod Squad".

| 20 June, 2012 - Video: Honda Australia Motocross with CRF450R | Here's a nice TV commercial from Honda Australia for their CRF450R motocross motorcycle.

|
| 18 May, 2012 - Video: Vintage Vespa Ad - Go Vespa | Here's a vintage Vespa TV commercial, from the days that things were so much simpler. No helmets, wicker picnic baskets and reasonable prices.

| 7 May, 2012 - Get Even With SUVs The Vespa Way. Once Off Offer | If you are frustrated with all those SUVs not taking care of other vehicles on the road because they don't need to, here's your chance to get even.Or at least vent some frustration.
During the France - Algeria War, Vespa made this unique scooter for the French military. It was designed to make cannons more mobile and access difficult terrain by parachuting them into combat. So they equipped a Vespa scooter with a real cannon. 800 of these mobile cannon were made and deployed in Algeria.
The bazooka-scoot was stored on an Army base in Messina, Italy. It comes "as is", and can not fire, but any SUV-driving-soccer-mom will not know that when she's facing the business end of the cannon.
The Vespa is up for auction on Saturday 12 May

| 18 April, 2012 - Video: Vespa - Perfect Curves | Despite a rather predictable, but still funny TV commercial, the Vespa Perfect Curves is not bad, depending on when it was made. You know when you see the guy exulting the virtues of the body, curves and that he must mount her, that he's not talking about the pretty & sexy girl.
Still, it's worth a giggle.

| 29 March, 2012 - 600cc Yamaha Engine With A Vespa Scooter Wrapped Around It | What do you do when you have a Vespa 50 scooter lying around doing nothing, and a spare Yamaha FZR600 engine gathering dust? One is a 50cc scooter, the other a powerful 600cc motorcycle engine...
That's a dilemma that someone in Italy had, and he solved it by taking the Yamaha engine and wrapping the Vespa scooter around it. Mind you, it's not a static scootBike, but it really works, just have a look at the video below.

| 16 February, 2012 - Video: SuperMario and Vespa Scooters | I don't know if this is a real commercial, and if it is, it will not have cost much money to make. The advertisement is for Vespa scooters, and it features Mario, or more SuperMario.
You can hear the irritating sound of the Mario Nintendo games, while Mario chooses a Vespa over the princess. But fake or not, it's still not bad.

| 1 February, 2012 - Working On Your Vespa Scooter | When you say that you're going to work on your Vespa scooter, most people will think that you're taking your spanners, screwdrivers and wrenches, and start tinkering on your motorcycle.
But not this Australian guy. He really means that he'll be working on his Vespa scooter. That's because he has taken this 1968 Vespa, that had died and was waiting for the taxidermist, and turned it into his office chair and desk.

| 20 December, 2011 - Video: MTV - Sex Is No Accident - Vespa | A kind of funny TV commercial from MTV, warning people that sex is no accident, and to wear a condom.

Dream on if you think it'll happen to you....

|
| 13 September, 2011 - Ad: Vespa Scooters and Shavers | The things you got to do as an ad agency. Well, one thing that works for me, is a motorcycle (or in this case a Vespa scooter) and a pretty girl, even if they're drawings.
That's what the JWT agency in New York used to draw your attention to Schick Quattro shavers for women. Okay, so maybe I'm the wrong audience...

|
| 19 August, 2011 - Video: Vespa - Thrill of Living | A Spanish language TV commercial for Vespa scooter, made quite some time ago if you listen to the quality, and look at the way the people are dressed. It's a bit in the Coca-Cola style, with loads of people happy and dancing.

|
| 23 June, 2010 - Vespa Trophy 2010: Nice Initiative | Vespa's annual gathering, this year in Fatima, Portugal, combines a pretty novel concept, called the Vespa Trophy.
Each European club, must on its way to the gathering, pass by as many Vespa dealers as it can, collect a stamp, get their photo taken, and the club with the most stamps wins.
Great idea.
|
|
