Amusing story of scooting in India...

I ran into this story on the web. It's from a journalist with the Hindustan Times who took a two-person journey by scooter. It's a quick, fun read. Enjoy!

Read The Motor Scooter Diaries by Neha Dara.

P.S: Look to the July issue of Scoot! for another cool story of scooting in India.

See Europe by Scooter

European automobile rental service Auto Europe has begun renting Vespa LX125s in Rome, Florance, Venice and Milan, and Yamaha Majesty 125s in Paris, Marseilles, Nice and Cannes. I don't know much about French drivers, but from what I've heard about Italian traffic, the company should also sell health and accident insurance policies. :) Although it does sound like a blast to join the Italians on Italian scooters in Italy. Ah, when in Rome...

Also in the news, the Fine Living Channel has included the Italy by Vespa tour on their Great Adventure series. They took a tour that explored Siena and stayed in all sorts of posh places. A week tour costs over $3,000 per person but is supposed to be luxurious and well executed. They say participants can even keep the helmets they used during the trip.
