New: Vespa GTS/Super cool-dry mesh seat cover XXL $18.99

scootRS — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:38:19 +0700

We've added a new item:

Vespa GTS/Super cool-dry mesh seat cover XXL
$18.99 (£12.11 | 15,14€ | CA$19.46 | AU$19.28 | ¥1,508)

Stay cool in the sun, dry in the rain!

Sun: no more burning hot seat. You are suspended above that and air blows through underneath to keep you cool.
Rain: no more wet seat. You are suspended above that and water goes below the surface, not on your pants.

This cover slips over top of a Vespa GTS sized seat - Honda SH or anything else similarly sized too of course - and makes a huge difference.

Tubeless rims and the 2012 Mille Miglia Scooter Challenge

scootRS — Wed, 16 May 2012 05:55:53 +0700

We recently sponsored the 2012 Mille Miglia Scooter Challenge in New Zealand with our tubeless rims and some other prizes.

Here's a photo of one of the prize winners. For more photos, see their FB page above.

Our tubeless rims for Vespa and Lambretta are a perfect match for this cross-country event: the only tubeless rim with classic 1960s looks but modern safety to avoid tube blowouts. Our v.3 has been out for 5 years now with not a single failed rim in all that time, an amazing record.

If you're not tubeless yet, what are you waiting for?

Update on our Snowflake Vietnam Charity Fund

scootRS — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:14:02 +0700

Just a quick update on our Snowflake Vietnam Charity Fund: our current total is now $5720! ($1195 from customers, $4525 from ScootRS.)

If you can, throw in $2 or $5 on the way to checkout. It would be great if our customers could match our donation!

100% of your donation goes directly to local Vietnam charity. No overseas overhead and we even donate the c.c. fees for everyone, as well as donate ourselves for every order.

Thanks again!

A video we made in our factory of our staff installing our modern Vespa race stripe panel stickers.

They look fantastic when done! If we can do it, so can you. (And ours are only $9.99, 1/3 of what they are elsewhere!)

Check out all our scooter stickers/decals: stripes, country flags, mod flag, full body art packs.

Hey, Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

We're closed until Wednesday for holidays here in Vietnam, something about crushing Yankee imperialism.

Read some of our old posts about this holiday:

2001: Vietnam notebook
2004: 1975: Saigon Surrenders
2010: 35 years ago (great photos of the last chopper out and a link to a MUST READ record of an American reporter's last 10 days)
