News Archives of The Regulars VSC

"The Regulars" is a club for vintage motorscooterists in the Twin Cities area.

Membership is currently free, but our one and only requirement is a love for vintage scooters. Our goal is to gather often, enjoy good health and ride in mass as the gods intended.

We meet at Pizza Luce in Uptown Minneapolis on the first and third Sunday of each month at 2:00pm (weather permitting, of course).

Sometimes we arrange other gatherings and announce them via email or the discussion board, so make sure you get hooked up with us.

Scooter Sales Up

According to the Seattle Times, scooter sales are up due to the increasing cost of gasoline.
"High gas prices are pushing sales of scooters. The Motorcycle Industry Council, a trade group, said scooter sales in the first quarter rose 21 percent from a year earlier, with sales of Vespa and Piaggio scooters up 72 percent.
Here's why: A scooter gets as much as 60 miles to the gallon, meaning it can travel more than 120 miles on a single fill-up of a typical 2.5-gallon tank. The average SUV will travel about 30 miles on the same amount of fuel."
