Vespinoy! » Vespa GTS Finishes 1st Petron Econo-Endurance Run
Vespinoy’s own Corinne Burgos aka silver2tone in the forum successfully completed the 1,000 km Endurance/Economy run sponsored by Petron. She finished the run 3-4 hours ahead of the deadline and was the first small displacement bike to finish, trickling in alongside the first batch of big bike finishers. I’ll update this post with details and the official numbers as soon … [Link]
Vespinoy! » Tony Benn “Sicko” Excerpt
Let me stray from scooters a bit. I first saw this clip of the interview with British socialist politician Tony Benn in Michael Moore’s 2007 documentary “Sicko“. The interview was about the British National Health Service (NHS). But there was a part of his interview which felt as if he was talking about the way things are run in the … [Link]

Vespinoy! » Ferrari designer dies in Vespa accident
It’s not always fun and games on our Vespas. Bad things do happen and this time it just happens to be one of the most famous car designers in the world, Andrea Pininfarina. From the Wired.Com blog. Andrea Pininfarina, head of the famed Carozzeria Pininfarina studio that’s designed some of the sexiest cars Italy’s ever produced, died this morning in … [Link]

Vespinoy! » Totally 80’s Yeah!
Got to meet a great 80’s icon Rick Astley last night. I was invited by my sister to come with her to the last leg of the Rick Astley kick off tour held at Alchemy in QC. Got there a bit earlier than the rest, as usual but was able to get good seats beside the DJ’s booth. Mr. A … [Link]

Vespinoy! » Vespas in Net 25’s Tribe
This was done a couple of months ago and was finally released in YouTube. Thanks Cliff for the heads up. Correction: Cesar’s scoot is an NSU Prima and not a Lambretta as featured in this program. But we forgive that transgression, for now ;). [Link]
Vespinoy! » We’ve been Cracked!
I do believe that’s Mike Defensor. Was browsing my favorite lunch break site Cracked.Com and was surprised to see that we’ve actually made their list…again. We’ve previously made their list, the Balut being the culprit and bagging top honors in their “The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World” list. Now we have this, “6 Retarded Gas Saving Schemes (People … [Link]

Vespinoy! » Feeling much better
After having been sidelined for the good part of a month, I finally feel better. After a battery of pills and tons of rest I think I can slowly get back to my normal routine. Sorry for not being able to post as often as I would like, but it was really tough the past few weeks and I was … [Link]
Vespinoy! » Father’s Day
Received this note this morning from my son Dino. It was neatly tucked underneath a tray of a breakfast of Hotdogs and Eggs he had made for me and Des. How this to make you forget about bronchitis (yup I’ve been battling with it since early this week). Thanks Dino and Marco, Daddy loves you very much!! Happy Father’s Day … [Link]
Vespinoy! » Riding Injured
Riding in Manila traffic and heat is hard enough, but riding with a bum shoulder just makes it all the more, well….harder. I honestly don’t know where this pain in my shoulder came from, might be from sleeping too much on it or from Mountain Biking. But wherever it came from it’s giving me a hard time riding the GT. … [Link]
Vespinoy! » Handling an On Saddle Off Day
Going to work this morning started out normal. Ordinary preparations before getting on my Vespa GT. Start the engine, make sure that it warms up nicely, since the weather’s been cloudy lately. Put on the gear, store the stuff in the compartment. Nothing out of the ordinary. But as I started my ride to work, something was off. I couldn’t … [Link]
Vespinoy! » Testing my endurance
I did it. After roughly 9 hours and countless bouts with muscle cramps, I finished the minimum number of laps (25) at the Suunto 12 Hour Endurance Race at the Filcity Mountain Bike Park organized by Sabak. It was my first race on a bicycle and my first athletic competition of any kind for a long time. So, it was … [Link]
