The Flaming Lips – How??
I am a big fan of the Flaming Lips’s music. They love to explore very odd visuals in their music videos. Their newest has a generous helping of Vespas decorated with glowing plush toys and women wearing rubber body suits.
Please be warned that this is the Flaming Lips and by definition, the music is awesome but the images and lyrics are going to be NSFW and weird. This particular video is tamer than many of their videos but some might be offended by it. So, if you are easily offended, don’t watch.

Honorary Membership
We recently read on modernvespa.com about the sad story of a Vespa rider here in the American West who wanted to join a local scooter club but surprisingly they denied her membership because she didn’t ride the brand they rode. In response, we here at TBSC made her an honorary member and sent her our membership kit!
Let us be clear here. We at TBSC believe that Scooter Clubs are NOT about exclusivity. The best clubs invite anyone with a similar passion to share in the enthusiasm a club represents. We regularly welcome scooters of all shapes and sizes as well as motorcycle riders to join us on our rides. We want to include anyone who shares our joy of riding.
Passion for your ride is at the core of what we represent. People who join our scooter club look at their vehicle more than just a mode of transportation, they love to ride and be a part of something more. We welcome our newest “remote” member and hopefully she finds some friends in her area who will share her excitement and enthusiasm for scooters!
