Hello all:
Pinoy scooter rider here from NYC, new member of Vespinoy via Bimbo.
I have a new Piaggio mp3 500 and I'm interested in the PH scooter scene. I'm in the NY Scooter Club and Modern Vespa forum. I also have a customized Kawasaki Vulcan 900 and I'm also with the Pinoy Riders Assn of North America (see FaceBk).
I like my scooter more now esp bec I live in NYC, tipid na sa gas, dali pa i-drive bec puede mo itaas ur 2 ft pag nasa stops or stop light ka. Di ka mapapagod. Dami pa storage. My Mods are: 14 blue LED lite pods underneath w remote; air horn; sliders. Maybe wshield & muffler later. Then mudguard saying "katas ng katas" or "puro kayo katas". haha.
Dami pala scooter enthusiasts back home and mukhang ok brotherhood nyo. More power to you all.
