I want a heated garage and a lift. Of course that Ninja Rabbit in Dember Scoot is too cool and the stuff that dreams are made of ...Best of the Season to All R 8)

I have seen the Ninja Rabbit (or at least a Ninja Rabbit as Dec. issues of Scoot! seem to be scarce in these parts) and would much rather own a stock Rabbit Superflow. Beautiful and those things run and run...

a longer riding season would be nice, so I could use what I have. I don't need more material things.

Not exactly gear, but I'm taking vintage scooter ads I've collected and am scanning them at super-high res and touching them up in the hopes of having one printed about 5' tall on canvas and hanging it in the living room.

I used to have a whole collection of popular mechanics from 50's & 60's that used to have tons of scooter and motorized bike ads even an occasional write up on a new scoot. sadly they did not make the move when my folks left Indiana & moved back to Texas. I'll look foward to your pics when you get them posted.

hope everyone gets what they asked for or at least told someone they wanted. Merry Christmas!

The article in December Scoot seems to state that the 250 Kawasaki is still with a 6 speed but has no details on the shifting or transmission. No doubt it is an admirable piece of work. The Rabbit design is very smooth tho I have yet to see one in person. R

I'll definitely be posting pics. I'm actually going to mock up the room in Photoshop so may post that first.
early Playboy magazine is a great source for vintage vespa ads.

All I want is time. Time to ride more. Time to think more about riding. Time to think more about thinking about riding.

I need a second scooter, Doesn't have to be as powerful,
Just something to get me from "A" to "B"
I could be humbled by a slower scooter, It wouldn't bother me.

A Lambretta would be nice.

Maybe, but I fear if I started buying those, that I'd be embarking on yet another "collection" of stuff.
