His and Hers 2009 Piaggio Fly 150s
This is a very nice story about a very nice young couple that bought a pair of matching scooters. They purchased these 2009 Piaggio Flys as wedding presents to each other and even incorporated them in the wedding. Now I am told (9 months later) that a baby is due any day now and the scooters must go. These are great bikes and totally like new with 1,000 and 500 miles on them.

When I totalled my Vespa and then stated my intention to rebuild it, there was plenty of scoffing and eye-rolling. The GT200 is for sale for $1,500, which is a fair price for a solid project scoot in excellent mechanical condition. 
The new handlebar was added, a new kill switch and starter button had to be refitted, as the old ones were torn off in the wreck. The leg shield was pounded out, the right radiator reinstalled and all the dangling wires were tied up and out of the way for the test ride. Here is a quick video of the test ride http://scootnyinzers.ning.com/video/quick-test-ride.

You know the tired old saw, "there's two kinds of riders, those who have crashed and those who will." I have been riding since 1975 and probably have close to 200,000 miles of riding experience, but all that experience doesn't amount to squat against a cell phone distracted SUV driver.
My Vespa GT 200 pinned under a 2002 Jeep Cherokee on Perry Highway. Taken by me with a Blackberry 8900.

The Vespa Crash Project III (4/28/2010)
My parts came in, or should I say just enough parts to assemble the scooter and make it test rideable. I have the #1 most important part; a straight handlebar. Now we can bolt up the cylinders, replace the brake levers, re-route the wiring and --- OH NO --- I was sent the wrong starter button!
