This might be the most scooterific video ever, and would you believe it’s a country song? Check out the new video from BR-549 frontman Chuck Mead: “I Wish It Was Friday,” featuring a Honda Cub, Vespas new and old, Genuine Buddys*, and more, plus lots of footage from East Side Scooters in Nashville.
As far as country songs about weekends, It’s hard to beat Robbie Fulks,’ but Robbie, sadly, doesn’t have a video full of scooters. I wandered into a BR-549 show at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge several years ago, and that alone made Nashville my favorite city south of the Ohio and east of the Mississipi. (Thanks to Louie from Modern Vespa for the link!)
UPDATE: It’s back on YouTube!, thanks to KymCoJones for his behind the scenes videos and keeping us up to date on the progress).
* “Buddies” just never looks right in print.

It says,”This video has been removed by the user.” I wonder if it would reposted later?

Actually, clicking any photo in the “gallery” slideshow gives me a “not found… comments closed.”

Yeah Beeb won’t fix it because it works fine on HIS computer.
The gallery used to be broken for me like that too. But now it does. funny.
The photo content wasn’t remarkable. Just a non-sequin-er
Can’t Jesus just make it Friday if he wanted to? Doesn’t he have some sort of connection? And could he make a Vespa run all the time?
