The First (and Last) Annual Bug Scooter Roast!

Yes yes, a product review... But this really is a great product. (STAY TO THE VERY END, IT'S WORTH IT!!!!) The Chigee AIO-5 Play is a scaled down (and less expensive) version of the more complete AIO-5 Lite, but it's all you need to turn your Vespa into a technological marvel.

When I'm out riding Gwyneth, my 2023 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport (in bianco innocente), I like a little extra protection from the nitwits who drive as an afterthought, including myself.

      It's not so much that it's uncomfortable, it's just not built for it. Hard to bring enough luggage for extended tours... Nearly impossible to ride off road. Not the greatest experience riding on freeways, and that's always a possibility when on extended trips.
