2023 Vespa GTS Walkthrough
Posted by Nathan on 17 Nov 2022 / 0 Comment

The 2023 Vespa GTS is here! In this video we walk through the bells and whistles. Come get one – you’ll love it.

I completely forgot to mention there is now a low tire pressure sensor on the scooter and an icon that appears on the dash when you’re low. Nice to see that addition.

Also a correction: the MIA system is only available stock on the Super Sport and Supertech. It is NOT on the base model or Super but is an accessory that can be added later if wanted.

How to Install SENA Helmet Speakers
Posted by Nathan on 28 Sep 2022 / 0 Comment

SENA bluetooth communicators are a game changer when riding for audible directions, and entertainment like listening to some tunes, a podcast, an audiobook, or even taking a call. This video shows how to install the base speakers of a SENA. It’s basically the same on every SENA despite some small design changes that occur between the model range. The hardest part is finagling the wires around and getting the speakers set in the right spot.

SPRING SCOOT 26 IS HAPPENING!
Posted by Nathan on 01 May 2022 / 0 Comment

After a two year hiatus, the 26th annual Spring Scoot is officially back for 2022! Tonight kicks off the most anticipated scooter event of the year. We are thrilled to be a part of this year’s event and are looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Below is the schedule for this weekend!

Click here to RSVP at the official facebook event page and to view discussion for Spring Scoot.

Reminder: Vespa Portland will be CLOSED this Saturday May 21st.


Tonight

Pre-rally at The Vern – 2622 SE Belmont St

7pm to 9pm – Kick things off for those who are getting into town early or are just ready to get this into gear. Hang out, get yourself some dinner, and get ready to ride to a special screening of Quadrophenia!


Friday

Gladstone Street Pub – 3737 SE Gladstone St

6:00 PM – Grab a bite and a drink and mingle with your friends. Riding out around 8:30/9:00 to second stop.


Saturday Morning

Cyclemaster Coffee 2747 N Lombard St

10:00 AM – Get yourself caffeinated, grab a sandwich or some biscuits and gravy. Don’t worry, they will have some hair of the dog options as well.

This year we are planning to have two rides depart to join at the end spot. 80 mile out-of-town higher speed ride as well as an across-town ride for 50cc or the easygoing crowds.

Very important – make sure you bring your towel (and swimming gear) for the end spot.


Saturday Night

Lay Low Tavern – 6015 SE Powell Blvd

8:00 PM – More bands than you can shake a stick at!

Baby Graves – Last Responders – Shock Troops – Stumblebum


Sunday Morning

Greeley Ave Bar and Grill – 5421 N Greeley Ave

10:00 AM – Breakfast, raffle, awards

After it’s wrapped up, we’re riding to the Edgefield (make sure that towel and swimming gear is ready again). May take a little break at a halfway point.

As is normal with Spring Scoot, we’re staying Sunday night at the Edgefield. Get a room if you haven’t already, but we’re not leading a ride back into town (though it’s pretty easy, Halsey goes all the way back)


Monday Morning

For those who stayed, probably find each other for breakfast and maybe another quick dip before we head home. No planned ride but usually a solid group makes their way back together.



This year’s raffle is full of great stuff! This wouldn’t be possible without all of the amazing sponsors! Thank you!

Andrew walks around his 2020 Vespa GTS 300 Supertech. It’s concrete gray. That color is discontinued now. Hope you didn’t snooze if you liked it! Also, got it back in August of 2019. Not 2020. The last few years have been an absolute blur.
