I was wondering if they take any of the product ideas and suggestions posted here under consideration. My initial guess is that they should, but probably do not.

I know through several channels that they in fact do, but so not participate. Which is good.
That said, their engagement, as I understand it, is primarily from a dealer management and brand management perspective. Not to find out what the next thing a bunch of people on the Internet think they should develop. That strategy was tried once before, and it was called 'Snakes on a Plane' an we all remember how that turned out. |

Jack - We have some sensitive souls on this forum so I thought I'd spare them the F.
It used to be that films were redubbed in the UK to avoid bad language. This lead to some hilarious scenes where people called each other "airhead", "motherlover", or "frigface" as they machine gunned each other. Bad language is nothing compared to violence! But violence is more tolerated. |

do you know i totally didn't notice the absence of the 'f'. i just thought that kate had finally reached the end of her tether and was ordering a basket of grapes to be sent round.
or maybe it's just my gutter mind. anyway, it reminded me of this: ![]() |

if they do monitor it they need to man (or women) up and fix that guy from San Antonios problem.

Oh ok. Heheh. Windbag, check.
I generally catch things like those triangles very quickly and it gives me discomfort to see something that's off like that. Only with word though. I do terrible with image related tricks like that. Optical illusions and whatnot. |

That would be nice to get a long term longer however I think you have to work for it or earn it which Rex did with his song Vespa. Naw you know what i rather buy it ride it and enjoy it. To much work the other way (hand outs). Just my 2 cents.

i agree with peabody99 above. the guy from san antonio is getting absolutely screwed over. i usually just read these forums but i had to join just to give my two cents. i really hope piaggio is monitoring these forums because that just isn't right. and i can't imagine it would be to good for business. i have to say that situation (and my past experience with my dealer) have almost got me ready to abandon vespa forever. anyone ridden the new honda 150?

Your dealer is your problem - not Piaggio/Vespa. Your contract is solely with your dealer. Choose such dealer wisely FFS.

Genie was suggesting that Kate would be taken off by men in white coats and hospitalised - grapes are the 'accepted' fruit to take to someone in hospital. Kate, naturally, would need a huge basket of them - it takes many grapes to make wine. Ah, there's a knock at the doo

jimc, you are only partially right. my problem is with my dealer service but also with the manufacturers dealings with some warranty claims. now the other rider, dgibsonmusic, i think has a legitimate claim with the dealer and the manufacturer. i know everyones a bit defensive about there scoot, including myself, but my god. i feel really bad for this person. and then he's got people telling him he's needs to quit griping. i'm sorry but that situation is very very wrong and it seems i'm not the only one who thinks so. back to the topic, i am truly curious if piaggio monitors this site. it would make sense. feedback straight from the source. hello there piaggio if you're reading this

I'm now convinced they do monitor MV. When I checked the Bellia Italia Rally web site logs today, there were two hits from the Piaggio ISP in Pontedera. Thanks, MV, for making Mother Piaggio aware of the Rally!
