The Scooters are coming!

Speak — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:11:28 +0000

I promised a few people this strip would have scooters in it. They have asked “where are they?” Well, they are on the way – next week in fact. In addition to the strip featuring scooters from time to time, this website will feature interesting scooter news and notes. See that little blue scooter icon? That means it is a scooter related post. So watch for that little scoot!

A four-stroke Stella one step closer?

A 4 Stroke Stella Scooter on the Horizion?

For a few years now, rumors have run rampant that one day the two-stroke Stella would be converted into a four-stroke. The assumed reason for the conversion was that Genuine Scooter, the distributor of Stella, wanted a share of the coveted California market. With California’s strict emissions law, the sale of two-stroke Stellas in California was impossible. But a change now seems closer than ever.

Recently, LML Italia presented the new Star 4 Tempi scooter powered by a four-stroke engine with a manual transmission. The LML 4 Star is available in two engines sizes, 125 and 150 cc. As for color, there is the The Linea Classic in white, silver and gun metal; the chic Linea Prestige in red, graphite and ocean blue, and the Linea Vintage in ivory, green, orange and taxi yellow. Additionally, in 2010 there will also be a Star Lifestyle line that allows custom finishes, while a long series of original accessories is already available.

Is the US the next market to see a four-stroke Stella? I’m not sure. What I am sure about, is that I love my two-stroke smoke. I’m stickin’ with it.

Sunday Morning Scooter Ride

I have a tendency to wake up really early on weekends. Way before most rational people that is. What else is there to do besides go for a ride? I enjoy these early morning solo rides more than just about any other type of ride. No traffic, no schedules, no one but myself to consider. No decisions – just acting. I highly recommend you take these type of journeys on a regular basis. It’s good for you.

The best intentions…

Genuine Stella Scooter Service Manual

Speak — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:27:31 +0000

It’s my early Christmas gift to you – The Genuine Stella Scooter Service Manual. Chock full of everything you need to know about your 2 stroke ride. Be it oil change, tire change, electrical, air/fuel, or dismantling and overhaul. In combination with a copy of the Haynes Vespa P/PX125, 150 & 200 Manual there won’t be much you can’t handle or at least understand when the project needs more qualified help than yourself. So get in there and get your hands dirty – I ask only that you download and save to the manual to your hard drive to save me some bandwidth next time you need a carburetor rebuild and rejet… Happy scootering!

Ever do things just to test yourself? Just to see how far you’ll take it? It is like a little game we play with ourselves and we win the moment we come back you our senses.

For you scooter types, notice the name plate on that scooter. This is the first time you can clearly identify the type of scooter Sam rides. It is a Wasp. Not a Vespa – a Wasp. Keep an eye out for this logo. You are going to see it again...
