Modern Vespa

I'm sure that is it confidential Piaggio information, however i suppose it never hurts to ask:

Is there a breakdown of scooter sales by dealership by state?

it's just curiosity to see where the scooters are going, where most of the riders are clustered.

Obviously, probably more of the cities would have more population and therefore more possibility of sales.

I love being able to tell my clients that I'm part of the current #1 dealer in the nation! Woo! Know what that means? People love us! Lots of repeat bussiness means that we are trusted and reliable. It took a lot of work to get there, but it is so worth it.

Based on what shows up on MV it's a safe bet to say CA is WAY ahead of the rest of the country. Last time my Italian business associate was in town he said, "wow, I've never seen a Vespa in America outside of NYC and SoCaL...you know, where there are people who have been someplace else in their lives". I thought it was pretty funny, pretty Euro, and pretty true.

Tanya, you are so right on. That is the only way to do business ... be trustworthy and reliable and willing to make the effort. That goes a long way. People remember being treated well.

When we first opened our store in Sept 06 we were invited by the CEO to a meeting in Vegas that included the biggest players, Soho, San Francisco, Seattle and Florida. I listened intently, I knew these were the players and we created an infrastructure and business model to sell scooters at their level.

Thanks Soho, San Francisco, Seattle and Florida for being such great mentors, friends and wicked good fellow dealers. Our store surely lurks around top 5 in the Nation, we actually sold 93 Vespa's in June which might put us around the top for once, it was really really hard work.

Cheers to you all, and happy selling and happy scootering.

Best,

PS See you all at the dealer meeting.
