Mikey (on a Vino 50cc) from OCC showed up with a film crew at our weekly meetup to invite us to their charity event this weekend. They wanted to get the scooter community involved.

They will be presenting a home made trophy for best scooter.

They spent a few hours and Mikey was very sociable.

So watch out for us on a future episode of American Chopper on the Learning Channel.

I was just up at their new showroom last weekend. I was in Poughkeepsie for some training and I realized that I was in their area so I dropped by on the way home.

I saw this in the display area... Anyone know what it is?

Mikey mentioned he had three scooters. Know at least two are Vinos.

Perhaps its one of his.

i thought i heard Mickey was invited to Amerivespa last year in Seattle

Rumor is he wanted a bunch of cash
ok maybe 10k is not a bunch of cash to the Tuttles
but to scooterists that a lot of PBR

It's a Vino 125. On one episode Mikey and Vinny "pimped" two Vinos and rode them to Boston or somewhere in the northeast to get lobster for the crew. Check out the custom rear rack that Vinny made with their flowjet machining tool. They could probably market them.
