Some Scooter Resources

I might start posting more here soon ...

• Corazzo: Very nice jackets for riding. "Based in Portland, Oregon, Corazzo designs and manufactures technical riding apparel for people who ride in an urban environment. Whether you ride a motorcycle, scooter or moped ..."
• Motorsport Scooters: Buy parts and accessories. Lots of genuine Vespa parts.
• Scooterworks USA: More parts and accessories.
• Modern Vespa: Excellent forums/community for people who ride the new Vespas. I have learned a lot here in the past two weeks!

I don't have enough links to start a del.icio.us feed here, so these will suffice for now.

NOTE: These are NOT sponsored links, so don't send me any spam. I am posting these links purely because I like the sites.

Geely Scooters

I was trying to do a little research on the Geely brand, which comes from China. These are some very low-cost scooters that you can order by mail (although I'm sure you can find some way to buy them in person too). The company has been making scooters since 1992, according to their corporate info.

I came across one very informative post at Yahoo! Groups. Apparently you must be good with a socket wrench to get these puppies running smoothly -- but if you're handy with tools, then a Geely scooter might be a good deal.

Not being very mechanically inclined, I think this is not the right choice for me!
