This is awesome news. If Barneys happens to read this thread reach out to me if you need anything related to getting up and running properly, I will assist any way possible.

Best,

Barney's has been around for a while selling scooters and MC. It's nice to hear they picked up the Vespa line. They are usually active with scooter events too.

I am thrilled with Barney's... I have bought 11 motorcycles and parts from them for over 30 years and watched them grow from about 1000 SF building to about 30,000+SF building, They are huge!.

They have a great service area and are a reputable company as far as my dealings.

I'm on the other end of the world from them but I wish them the best. And glad for all the Vespa owners in the area. Very exciting. Good luck.

Wow
Back when I lived there, it was a small building there on Gandy, nice to see it has done so well and made a good decision on the scooter lineup!

Is the dog track still there, too?

Dog track is still there... You can see it in the middle pic, and Barney's is in the same location... They've remodeled a few times as you can see.
