This is a scooter channel for the deranged.
It all began in August, 2023 not long after I brought home a brand new 2023 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport (in bianco innocente). I do reviews, rants, observations, stories and all kinds of scooter-related stuff. Really, though, I'm just having a blast making content , building a community, and hopefully making you laugh a bit.

I Traded my Vespa… Now What???
Last week I traded my 2023 Vespa GTS Super Sport, affectionately named Gwyneth, for a big, new adventure motorcycle. While this is the end of my scooter life for now, it’s not necessarily the end of Bug…

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.

REVIEW: Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Air Bag System on my Vespa GTS 300
มุมมอง 8616 หลายเดือนก่อน
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.

Getting Through It All on my Vespa GTS
They say it to comfort themselves. It makes them feel better. My wife always says that and I just tell her I will give it my best shot and then tell her I love her. We can’t be thin skinned.
I feel you should have imported this video over to the start of the new channel.
Little things drive you fucking nuts mate... Great scooter though, I'm on my fourth gts300, first three have been stolen. London I'm talking about...
Came for the Bogota review, stayed because of Port Lando and the running dialogue. I like the idea of just doing stupid shit and the endless honest ejaculations.
bug just buggin The market is there for making reviews. Could ride all different types of 2 wheeled contraptions, making a review while inserting your sharp wit and humor. 🤷🏼♂️ Idk. Just an idea.
Laughed my ass off throughout the entire video.
Sad but... why not starting projects about renovating, repairing (with aid of course) of old old Vespas? And maybe selling and starting again...
I'm betting that next summer you won't be buying a scooter again. Motorcycles are addictive.
I am with you on the auto-canceling turn signals! What a PITA on the Vespa!
Great review! Subscribed
Sorry you will not be making any more Vespa videos 😢. Like you (and many others), I have a Vespa, but still have a motorbike.
Im totally Shocked! Ill have to go into rehab!
All the ZZ Top gave me some *shudder* 8os flashbacks. Could've been worse; could've been Deadmau Five!!
How do you ride at 50mph with no wind noise in yur video
I had a Vespa it was fun but after trading for a Burgman 400 there was no going back. For motorcycles I have a Ducati Monster 2025 and its been great as a fun machine for short adventures
One time Vespa, always Vespa… I am sure the day will come and you are riding a scooter 🛵 again …
I've got to say, I much prefer the riding and talking thing, to the film the ride and then record the voiceover at home shtick.
Later bye bye
Just review anything you like or not with humor.
Love the content on both channels. I am sure what ever you do will be awesome. I know thats not helpful 😊 If you do any adventures with the scrambler, as a fellow scrambler owner I will be glued to that.
Oh man, thanks so much for the shoutout!!! I am thrilled for your new adventure! And if you keep this account running, I’ll watch, but I also enjoy the motorcycle channel!
Judas BUG.😆
Do you have Zontes in the States? Try out a Zontes 350E scoot. You can thank me later.. 👋
I'm here for the rides! Keep on moving on brother! Thanks for the Shout out and thanks, Yea... Kansas City Baby!!!!! Hahaha
So here is my idea. You'll trade one of these motorcycles for another scooter (garage space fixed) and get yourself into the 2025 Cannonball. I'd love to see you getting ready, riding in it, and watching you get your "touring" bug itched.
Oh, and if you don't need your rubber chicken any more... Let me know :)
Pha, just traded my 2023 Tiger 850 Sport for a Vespa GTS 300 :D Did not like the triumph. Its comfortable and capable but also very boring. Hope you like yours.
Now what, You ask ? You seem to be on the way for a Harley beard, so, a Harley 😊
I'll miss the cursing beep!lol! Now, bring some of the humor to the other channel, it's a bit somber. 😂
Your other channel is great, but I miss the humor of this one especially the yellow fill in lines.
Sorry to hear that you've left the scootering fraternity (for now). That said your content is great and I love the other channel.
You ever seen a ferret cry? You're gonna. 😢😢
Life rolls along now open the wallet and start adding some bling to the new ride. Good luck ride safe and enjoy
I'm not surprised. Did exactly the same. Traded in my Vespa Super Sport for a Tracer 9. More fun and more suitable for longer trips.
Sad to see the Vespa go. But ”The Bug Show” is a great idea! At least as long as you keep the humour (and those asides in yellow). It sounds more interesting than the ”oh, I’m an older driver now” stuff that you’ve got going in the other channel (and I’m even older).
In your Vespa time here, I got a GTS 300 SS (in Verde Ambizioso) and you answered a lot of questions and gave me many laughs (some sad but true!). Grazie…staying tuned for more shenanigans!
Aw, too bad about the Vespa - on the other hand, I’d enjoy watching you convert sport bikes into choppers, untapped market right there.
Not that you bought a bad bike, on a contrary, a Rally Pro is amazing, but if you are into touring why didn't you go for a GT Pro? Cheers!
I considered it, but wanted the flexibility of having something more offroad-capable. i have a ton of opportunity to ride really nice forest roads and BDR routes, etc near where I live, and I've so far really enjoyed riding offroad.
The other thing is... For whatever reason, I enjoy being up higher. I've even put the seat on the Rally Pro in its high position, and I'm really digging it.
You are breaking my heart and the one of my GTS 300 Super Sport Arancio Impulsivo. Adios! Thank you for great and funny youtubs
Was the Vespa just not enough? Since you mentioned wanting to tour, was it just too uncomfortable for those longer rides?
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.
@@bugscooters Thanks for the reply. I'm still hmm-hawing about getting a Vespa. Anyway, I like you humor at least so I'll stick around.
I traded my vespa for a bmw adv bike. kept it 3 months, traded it in on a Grom. I've never been happier.
I get that. I'm dying to ride a Grom. They look like an absolute blast. That and the Monkey. I want to own a Monkey someday.
Love my monkey!@@bugscooters
@@bugscooters third bike in the stables is the grom. Fun. Nimble. But lacks power badly (when a fat man rides it). On the plus side - my weight is more then the groms and i look hilarious on it.
I love Popsicles! Whatever you decide I suspect it will be great. Onward!
Thanks Steve!
You are absolutely hysterically funny. I loved this video and yes I love gadgets. I just bought a Vespa yesterday. I am going to follow you into tomorrow. thanks for great information!! Ann d
So if you're interested in a coast to coast ride look up the scooter cannonball. It's next year and actually starting out of Portland this time
Hey great fun story What type brand of screen is it-I have 2008 gts
Dude, I love, love your videos! You are hilarious! They just popped up when I was searching for info. on a new scooter to buy. Thank you for your work. I think I might be getting a Vespa next. You make them look so fun. Currently I have a 20 year old silverwing, but I actually think something a little more maneuverable would be nice, specifically for those twisties. 🤣
I didn't know you had a scooter channel....nice! So I looked up Camera Conspiracies, it's a laugh out loud channel! Sarcasim and insight into the obvious that is right up my alley. Thanks for the link!
I love this channel already. Just found and subscribed.
Looks busy 😂
your vespa is so beautiful & horn also🥰🥰
really , you are so amazing♥ love this
