Modern Vespa

This morning...wait, it was almost noon, I called Curt, dealer principal of Vespa of Vacaville, to tell him that we have a deal and that I would like delivery today, if possible. Just to put things into perspective: we are talking 600+ miles from Las Vegas to his garage in Vacaville. One way.

I heard him swallow on the phone (or was it me?) and he said, he promised, so he'll do it. I'm like that myself, so I can appreciate if a friend is a man of his word as well.

Let me tell you, Curt's word is law! Everything he said during the negotiations and thereafter that he would do, he did. So, at about 5am, he called and said he is just pulling out, with his Honda Ridgeline and my GTS in its bed. He figured he'd be at his house around 2pm or so, and he even manipulated traffic to keep his word. This man is amazing.

Then the actual delivery process started, where he explained the operation, gave valuable tips for safety, and answered all my anxious questions. Then I squeezed it out of his scooter filled garage, where we swapped out the rims & added an argyle stripe , and we went inside to see his new stainless refridgerator. He also explained the importance of the red key. All, because I lost faith in my closest local dealer and their organization, be it sales or service.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. When I heard that Curt had learned to play with himself as a youth, I urged him to play on mine (I've only started playing 18 months ago). He was a bit shy at first, but then he sat down and blew me away, with a piece that he said he had developed himself. This man is not just a delivering scooter dude, he is a thoroughbred entertainer too, and a performer. Check this out:



The poor guy couldn't spend more time to have dinner with me because he had to get some rest & make sure his garage was securely locked and in good shape, before he could finally see his family again, and what a nice and talented family he has!

So, there it is, a brand spanking new . . .to me 2006 GTS, delivered half across the west coast, almost, and by the guy I would attend any rally with. Try him out, and if you know the triple alternative, you will be very happy you did. I am for sure.

Thank you Curt, you're da man!

PS: ...and I leave it to you to explain your funny pirate limp...

??? :?

P.S. This is good!

Oh That's so Dam Funny....


I think i remember humm a post almost like this one...

Would you mind if I copied you for use on a booring Gray Vespa?

My offer to trade is still open.

Oh you have time to get that little red registered. Take the day off tomarrow so we can see it on the Napa Ride!

Awesome, congrats on your new delivery! Curt really is amazing.

Matt you know this is what being a scooterist is all about. Helping your fellow rider. We are here to serve!! I made them, do you need some? What colors? We are here to serve and delivered it to DMV for a VIN Verification too and she has fresh plate on her already.

oh my dealer friend Curt already took care of it
when DMV told my girlfriend i would need to bring it down so they could check the VIN we dropped the tools,loaded the scoot in the truck & handled our business
got plates & tags
im ready to ride


my last scoot was grey with argyle stripe

Curt made some extra if you want to try switching up placement

M@,does your dealer friend Curt deliver to England?

OH My What a great thread and story. I am sure it was the perfect service that made you go with Vespa of Vacaville, Beale.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Is your facial expression here for sheer joy? (Or did you just sit on the ice? )


That was a hoot!

Pet Carrier/Ice Chest I think there might be a market for them

Beautiful Scooter & great story, a little FREAKY but great.

You guys crack me up, after being at work 15 hours yesterday I needed this great laugh to start my day! Thanks a million. Now I wish my dealer delivered my scooter with a pet carrier full of ice and vodka, who wouldn't love that. I vote Vespa Vacaville to be the bestest of the bestest!

LOVE the argyle stripes you have and that expression is priceless.

Nice! Makes me wish I lived in California. Oh wait, I do.

And I LOVE the argyle stripes! Awesome. Do you have any that would work on a black LX????

I sure wish we would all stop posting about how great our dealers are.

OMG I almost just blew water out my nose!!!!! And I was so expecting a post like this once he got it . . .

M@, that bike is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank goodness not in a stolen sense.

Congratulations!!!

That's one of the funniest in a while. The stripe is awesome by the way. 8)

THE ARGYLE STRIPE IS SO SUPER DUPER COOL!!!

How about White & Grey/Silver? or White & Red?

I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I've never heard of a customer being treated so well.

M@, you should be ashamed

I like the argyle too. It's hip.

I new I was going to laugh when I read the subject line (it immediately brought me back...), but this was much more hilarious than I expected. Nicely done!!!

Oh, and congrats on the arrival of the scoot, I like the argyle.
