Madass is BADASS!!!!

After uncrating and putting together the Madass 125's I can confirm that they are AWESOME!!!!! Bill Pierce, the owner of Cobra Powersports who is the importer of these amazing machines just called me with news that a major mens magazine will be including the Madass 125 on their top ten list of 'things a guy wants'. Why am I not surprised?

Successful Events.

Following the great success of the Nyack Street Fair on July 19th, we did a special event yesterday, Sunday 26th, at our favorite wine store 'Wine for All' just 2 miles north of us on Route 303. Eli the owner had unearthed a selection of wines all of which had scooters on the labels and during the course of the afternoon we all got to try them and Eli explained in great detail the characteristics of each one.

Outside Metro Scooter had set up a booth and had brought along 7 scooters, nearly all Vespa, 3 of which were available for tryouts and demo rides. This included our GTS 250 dealer demo. (Experienced riders only here!).

The weather was hot and steamy but the thunderstorms held off and many people came by to enjoy the wine and cheeses as well as checking out the Vespas.

Thanks to all who took the time to ride out and join us. It was great to see folks coming from far afield such as Brendon, Todd and Joan, Karen, Peter and many more. I think the turnout was around 20 scooters in all. Not bad!

If I can get the trailer lights working in time, our next event will be Bear Mountain custom car show on Wednesday 29th.

Groaning at the seams!

Mondays are normally on the quiet side and we have a skeleton staff only; my wife Lisa. I knew it was going to be a busy week but I had no idea how crazy it would get. I called Lisa around 11am and she sounded somewhat stressed out. Apparently a 53' tractor/trailor had just pulled into the parking lot to deliver five new scooters! Taking delivery of a thousand pounds of machinery packed in crates is no small task and poor Lisa had to handle it all on her own. She passed the test with flying colors; well done Lisa!! What is more important though is that four of these new machines were the Madass 125's which we have been waiting for for almost a year. Come get 'em while they're HOT!

Tuesday was no better. We took our first delivery of SYM scooters, ten in all, and by now the cardboard packing crates were starting to stack up. We still haven't finished bolting all of the SYM scooters together yet.

Wednesday I was supposed to drive to Newhaven to pick up a Madass 50cc scooter which is to be shipped to Bermuda but my car broke down on I-95 so I never made it. Once fixed I did the trip on Thursday (23rd) but also had to pick up a Vespa 250 GTS in Larchmont, so I needed to take the trailer. Mission accomplished but it took 6 hours in brutal traffic. While I was doing that yet another shipment of five scooters arrived from Vespa, including two huge MP3's. Charles had to handle this on his own and to date I have no idea how he managed to get the MP3's out of the crates.

So, twenty new scooters in four days. Thank heavens they are selling like hot cakes and we should have some space back soon.

July 4th on the North Fork of Long Island.

My good friend David invited my wife, myself and another pal out to his house on the water in Southold LI for a long weeknd so I decided to take a bunch of scooters in the trailer. I took a Vespa GTS 250, a Pierspeed RM50 which I left out there for David to enjoy for summer plus another 50cc TNG.
We all had lots of fun riding and David spent the weekend looking for excuses to run into town again for errands and such. Looks like another convert! :)
