| Whether
you're just starting out on your first Vespa or
if you've been riding for years, your riding knowledge
and skills are extremely important. We recommend
a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCourse
to improve your knowledge and enjoyment of riding.
In most states, the MSF RiderCourse qualifies graduates
for lower insurance premiums. To sign up for a Motorcycle
Safety Foundation RiderCourse or to request information,
please call 1-800-447-4700 or visit their website
at www.msf-usa.org.
Ask if you can take the course on a Vespa or Piaggio
motorscooter.
And an important part of rider education is learning
to ride smart. Never ride under the influence
of drugs or alcohol. Always operate your vehicle
at a safe and legal speed. Always ride cautiously
within your abilities. Be alert to your surroundings
and ride defensively. Do not ride off road and
respect the rights of others. Review your owner's
manual thoroughly before riding your new vehicle
and examine your vehicle before each ride. Vespa
and Piaggio motor vehicles are recommended for
riders 16 years of age and older.
Many times scooterists don't want to endure the entire motorcycle curriculum which includes clutching and shifting. After all, many scooters are now automatic.
Atlanta Motorcycle Schools offer individual training with a variety of different cycles and scooters. Check out their website at www.jkminc.com for more details.
