bug scooters

bug scooters

This is a scooter channel for the deranged.
It all began in August, 2023 not long after I brought home a brand new 2023 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport (in bianco innocente). I do reviews, rants, observations, stories and all kinds of scooter-related stuff. Really, though, I'm just having a blast making content , building a community, and hopefully making you laugh a bit.

Contact me via email for bug-related inquiries... [email protected]

    I tell ppl to "enjoy your ride" when they are leaving on a bike. I ignore the "be careful" comments (mostly). "Oh geez, thank you for that, as I wasn't even thinking about riding carefully or safe while I put my helmet and gloves on (already wearing other protective stuff)". It's like the new saying since COVID "be safe". Stupid. My Vespa turn signal is likely on more than off, but I'm thankful for my BMWs self cancelling feature.

    LOL, dude you were all over the place. :) That vehicle that "pulled" in front of you was no where near you. There was about 5 or 6 car length ahead of you. I was not sure what you were taking about. And that dude crossing the side walk ...he did nothing wrong. He was waiting to cross the street and when the light changed, he did just that. So again, I was not sure what you were talking about. Calm down and just enjoy the ride. Jeez! :)

    What am I doing? It's half past four in the morning, we're a week past the summer solstice and I'm watching you messing round in the woods. The Finns have a word, no doubt unpronouncable, for this, which translates to midsummer madness, I think. Or maybe I made that up. Anyway, thank you, you're stopping me jumping on my motorcycle and going for a ride, which sounds fun, but last time I did that I found myself two hundred miles from home wondering where I could get breakfast.

    I just found your channel thanks to Scooter ‘Zine. When I joined a scooter club I had a GTS250ie. It was a great scooter until it wasn’t. Scooter peeps are usually cool. Every vehicle in the last 100 years uses clockwise for ON and counterclockwise for OFF. When I saw you leaving the scooter you recorded yourself turning it clockwise and walking away. Don’t blame the fob. One of my bikes has a push button to turn it on. Push it again to turn off. If you turn it on and walk away there is a good chance someone will steal it.

    im 30 and i do creative work. I love vespa and i do feel that vespa is more of a lifestyle and transport from A to B instead of the standard bikes where we rev at traffic lights.. I used to ride a cafe racer and r15 but i settled with a vespa instead to keep for a long time since its just easy and looks nice. I also tend to ride safer with vespa because of the hidden rule of "everyone overtakes vespa" but i still do lane splits normally. 1 thing i really miss is clutching and revving and zooming alot faster though.. but other than that i think its good!

    I can't believe I watched from beginning to end. Randy is mesmerizing. Portland looks nice to me. Definitely less chaotic looking streets and freeways than NYC or Philadelphia. Though I much prefer living far from cities in the sticks where I see real chickens wandering about. Congratulations on your Scooter Zine appearance. You should consider a column for every issue. Raise new scooter riders up right with your pointed scooter wisdom! Also, I send you an email to your BugMoto channel email address letting you know that I was pointing a finger at you in my most recent blog post. Randy is a peach. And a fine color match to the Scrambler...
