Is anyone familiar with these guys?

A scooter dealer in San Diego.  I've seen a Kymco sign in their lobby a time or two. So they clearly carry more than one brand. No surprise there.

But they seem to love the Vespa in particular. And they've posted a number of videos on youtube showing rebuilds, inspections, etc.

The camera work is good and the mechanic seems to have good instincts. His delivery is good. You feel as though you understand what's going on. It's a good opportunity to get a nice, close look at classic Vespas, modern Vespas and the occasional other scoots offered by Piaggio.

Definitely good videos. Here's a sample:

In the world of Vespas in the US their shop is the shit. They are a big Vespa dealer and support them well. Robot the guy that makes most of the videos is a great mechanic. All of the repair videos are worth watching, not just for the knowledge but the tools they use.

Yup! Robot is good.

I doubt if I'll ever own a Vespa. I don't want to pay the price of a new one and I don't want to deal with the oddball parts involved with an old one. But it's hard to dislike them and they sure are interesting.

And these videos have allowed me to learn detail of them that I could never have gotten otherwise. Add to it the fact that these vids are well produced and easy to watch and this is a fine way to spend some time 'thinking scooter'.

I've found it particularly useful during deep freezes.
