And how did I miss this? The official home of the greatest garage band that never was:The Huggabaloos. The best dayglo animated band since Cub. Oh, wait, Cub was real. I miss Cub, what the hell happened to them?

Not sure how I never stumbled upon the lovely modchicago.com until now. Mykrrr ‘hepped’ me to the Modchicago Garage Sale at Delilahs. Looks like it’s run by Kris Adams (and DJ John Manion), who I hardly ever see anymore, probably because I run, screaming, anytime I see the word “Mod.”

Thirty-two years ago today, our beloved editrix and my cherished wife Vina Vroom was born in South Bend, Indiana. Send her a birthday greeting. and buy her a cider or two or three at Niagara.

As Apu said last night, “I can not even begin to figure out which part of this to correct first.”

Malaguti USA has upgraded their website recently, it’s a fun place to hang out, epecially in the forums, where melodramas unfold like Temptation Island, and president Joel Martin appears just before things get ugly, like a modern-day Mr. Roarke.

The roof of OTR Scooters’ warehouse space caught fire yesterday. The shop lost power, but Darren, Chelsea, the scooters, and supplies are all OK. Thanks to Elvis for the story.

I promised myself,”no more ‘gay’ jokes on 2strokeBuzz,” and I’ve eliminated retro-schoolyard “gay” from my vocabulary. But come on, this is just way too funny.

A club for owners of the elusive Vespa 50 and 90 Super Sprint. Lots of photos of these rare and coveted beasts, and a list of owners for you to stalk.

Bob Hodge (via TSS:) “I got my AARP Vitamin Catalog in the mail while I was at the MASS Race in Circleville. Take a look at the front cover!
The AARP is using a Vespa in their advertising. Take that ya young wippersnappers, and now git offa my lawn!”

Got an extra $125k laying around? Dump that scooter for a Mach 5!

It takes a while to load, but here’s a cool interactive tour of Carnaby Street, the birthplace of Mod fashion.

PART 1 | by Geoff Przekop | Chris woke up in a haze. Light poured in from the closed blinds and the hangover started. Last night came back to him in a handful of scattered recollections and his eyes pounded with pain. He tried to remember how the night had ended up. He remembered dancing with Trish, a chic little Mod girl from the north shore.

This Satuday (April 27) is the first official ESRA race at Circleville Raceway Park in Ohio, and would you believe MASS is racing the same day on the same track? It looks like it’ll be the largest turnout ever for a scooter race east of the Mississippi River, and there’s a lot at stake. Will Scott Smallwood continue his total domination, or has he finally pushed his bike beyond reliability? Will HodgeGarage finally prove their mettle with their prettified-but-still-bodged “Allshit” Mark II? Will all the east coast newbies be able to keep up with the big boys (no pun intended) of St. Louis? And what can we expect from the new-look Team Primo/2SB? Myk is racing in Custom class with his “Smallwood replica” engine in a new, Smallwood-ish frame, but he still has a lot of work to do before raceday. Durso is racing the rossiverdi PK125/Primavera hybrid, and has a good shot at the new Smallframe class, if his skills are up to par. Matt Primo is racing the Ex-Vespa Haus P200 that gave Bastianelli some success last year, will it help him dominate Stock class? Stay tuned, it’s going to be quite a day.

Scoot.net has photos of Hedonism and Chain of Fools. Read this story and then try to tell me Phil wasn’t there.
