Posted on 2SS: “Hi, I’m looking for my first scooter. Used, big enough for 2, a few years old, with a straight body suitable for covering with question marks, in the $1200 range. If you have a scooter that matches or is close to that contact me at matthew@lesko.com or 301-929-8400 (Bethesda MD).” Yep, it’s that Matthew Lesko.
Scooter thief caught on camera
Wussy Jay from Seattle’s P200 was stolen from the Sahara parking garage during the Vegas Rally. Take a look at the Security Camera Footage and see if you recognize the thief. Look out for the bike, too.

Free scooter for headhunters
Kirk Tindel in Atlanta lost his job last week, so he’s offering a free scooter to “anyone [who] gives him a lead that ends up with him getting a permanent position in his area and within his salary range.” Choices include a Gilera Runner 180 and a few Vespas.
Scooter Racing Nationals
After a few years of attempts to start a national scooter race, it looks like someone pulled it together. Scooterracing.info features information on the race, due to be held in Colorado in September, and interviews with top racers. Hopefully MASS will announce a schedule soon so the midwest kids can represent.
Voting still open in music awards
The six or seven of you that are waiting with bated breath for the winners are just going to have to wait a couple more days. Vote! Vote again! It’s all rigged anyway. I’ve simplified the ballot for those of you daunted by the previous version.
LambrettaUSA vacation photos
CMSI of Seattle announced the opening of their Italian office in Desenzano. “The Desenzano offices of Lambretta USA will coordinate the Italian sourcing and Italian vendor relations.” Allright, great, let’s see the product already. Thanks for the tip, Al.
An Italian Trip from Starbucks
Bryan’s mom, Boyann, recently forwarded us an email containing info on Starbucks’ latest promotion. They’re giving away a Vespa trip for 2 to Italy. Because it’s Starbucks, you’re gonna have to pay to enter their contest.
Win an ET2 from Target!
I was disappointed to see only 3 scooters in the Rome Collector’s edition of Gourmet magazine (an ad, a cartoon, and an out of focus photo with the scooter way in the background). On closer inspection of the Target ad, I saw they’re giving away an ET2 in each store, plus one online. The drawing will be held “on or about May 19, 2003”. One drawback is that you’re going to receive Target emails. Once the contest is over and they’ve sent you an email confirming that you’ve won, remove yourself from the mailing list.

Zach Attacks Lisbon
Our beloved Chicago Fire suffers another loss as mighty keeper Zach Thornton signs a
six-month deal with Benfica. I linked to SoccerAge because I liked how they called the Fire “Reigning MLS Champions.” We wish. Hopefully, “six months” means “Until Bossio returns, shortly after the MLS season starts.”
Benelli negli Stati Uniti?
Matthew was apparently intrigued enough by the Adiva to look up the Benelli Moto website. I can’t beat “sufficiente” on the memory game, but I now know they have an importer in Georgia, so that’s good news. They don’t look nearly as cool as the BMW C1, but then again we can’t buy a BMW C1 here, so that’s moot.
Civilized Age
If you’re one of the six or seven people reading this that aren’t going to Las Vegas, or if you want to start the party a day early, check out the Civilized Age, The Differents, and Miss Alex White at the Fireside Bowl tomorrow (Thursday) night, sponsored by ModChicago.
