INSURANCE RENEWAL
I was insured through a well known motorcycle broker. I obtained a quote from Footman James via the VVC Discount page and received a reduction in my annual premium of 26% with the same cover other than an excess of £50 instead of £25. Worth considering? Whilst you can fill in all the information it seems that at them moment you have to phone in for a response, they have a temporary computer problem. 17/04/08

    CRY FOR HELP FROM ITALY
    This is a message from Alessia from Italy. I'm a vespa rider and right now I'm working on the organisation of an event for a "Replay" store in London.
    Since the theme of the event is "la dolce vita", I was wondering if there's one of the club members who would be available for renting his Vespa for the event. I was thinkin about a Vespa GT, a VNA/VNB, SS180, or any other model of the 60's.
    The vespa will be put in the shop window of the store, therefore the safety of the Vespa is completely guaranteed. If someone is interested please contact me. If there's the availabilty, we can discuss the price and every detail.

    WEB SITE
    You are now able to complete and update your personal bike portfolio. You can now add, edit and delete your scooters in the list. This access is personal to you. We will be inputting the updates that have been received with membership renewals during April 08


    NEW SHOP ITEMS
    Take a look at the club Shop. New items of clothing are a VVC Waterproof and a VVC Gillet.

    FORUM
    Once you have logged in, going to the Forum is now an option. In due course we will streamline it by adding categories and by adding a search engine.
    Within the existing Members Area, FOR SALE/WANTED and MEMBERS BIKES pages will also eventually be made interactive so you can upload your own information and pictures.


    PIAGGIO CALENDARS
    Your Committee has obtained permission to reprint some of the old Piaggio calendars. It is envisaged that these will be available only to members and will be sold at cost. Unfortunately we have not yet looked into the print costs, that may discourage us! We hope not. WE are now looking at costs and viability. We may also use these for Christmas Cards for 2008!


    BIKE INSURANCE


    Dont forget to check out the Footman James Insurance Offer to club members. Up to 15% discount on older bikes. Even if you are an existing customer you can talk with them about these discounts being applied. See Members Discounts page.
