Modern Vespa

I just moved to Eagle Rock from SF. The gear that I wore to ride around SF is too hot for the weather here. Where do people in LA find weather-appropriate gear? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to L.A.
Vespa of L.A. is downtown (close to you) I haven't been there in a while but they had some good stuff. http://vespaofla.com/

I have been buying most of my riding gear from "New Enough". They have some great sales on right now. I prefer the First Gear brand. Just bought a pair of HT Mesh pants for $89

Howdy. Welcome to LA!

It's tough to find a local shop around here that carries a wide selection of gear.

I wear Corazzo: A Ventata mesh in the summer and a Tempeste most of the rest of the year. NoHo Scooters (not that far from Eagle Rock) carries them.

New Enough is good and if you buy from them you can opt to make a small donation to Modern Vespa (adds nothing to your cost!). They're good about returns and exchanges as well.

I've also had good experiences buying online from Motorcycle Superstore and Sandhills Powersports.

If you're interested in some group rides around LA, check out our Meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/LAScooterGroup/

All my local bike shops carry weather appropriate gear.
Also check out Proitalia in Glendale. They are a Ducati dealership but have lots of great gear.
If you like Rev-It gear, which is very nice, go to Beachmoto in Marina Del Rey.

We have lots of stuff at our shop and can order pretty much anything. We are probably your closest Vespa shop and a sponsor of the site here.

I have met Lynda several times and she is extremely helpful.
