BRIAN AKA “ZOM B”
VESPAS:
1980 P200E
2003 PX200 Serie Speciale (#216)
2004 Granturismo 200
A Chicago native, Brian has been a professional special effects make-up artist for ten years. After several years living and working in London, he opted for a stint in purgatory, hence the move to LA, where he has continued his pursuit of the craft, while exclusively riding on two wheels. When not riding he’s likely to be found in full zombie or clown make-up, playing bass guitar in “THE CRAZEES.”

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA
VESPAS:
1993 PX200

Stacy, a sixth generation Californian, got her first scoot after a chance trip to Paris.

When not raising hell on wheels, she enjoys her spoiled puppy, lazy husband, and teaching our nation’s youth.

They are missed…
CARLO
NEW JERSEY
VESPAS: SPRINT, ET4
Carlo hooked up with the Vespastics in the San Fernando Valley in 2004, after acquiring a Silver ET4. Being the only proper Italian in the club gives him unprecidented…influence. In early 2006, Carlo and wife Darlene relocated back the East Coast, where he continues to represent while raising his family and keeping up the family business.
STEPHEN and JENNIFER
SANTA MONICA
VESPA: ET4
Since 2003, Stephen and Jennifer have kept it Vespastic on the Westside, where they are now raising a family.

These two have been known to raise hell from here to Vegas.
Beau AKA “VonHoffacker”
New Orleans ”Get Strapped, Chopper City“ Louisiana
Vespas:
Kitted Px 150
‘74 Rally 200
VonHoffacker is currently a member of the New Orleans Police SWAT team. Really all he does is work, but for every weekend in the past two years rebuilding his flooded house has been a necessity.

“Sic transit gloria, - glory fades”
ETHAN
AKA “Prom King”
CHICAGO
VESPAS: Honda CB (!?!)
Though he has no Vespa of his own, Ethan learned to ride motorbikes and passed his driving test on a P200, which he managed to drop at that test. He’s been active on borrowed wheels at rallies on the East and West coast for almost five years. Only the Vespastics founder owns more club clothing than this man.
JAMES
CHICAGO
VESPA: Not likely.
James was bamboozled into the club several yeas ago, tagging along with his brother to various California rallies. Although perfectly capable of piloting a scooter, he often rides in the support vehicle capacity and designs numerous Vespastics promotions. And he has a lovely singing voice.
FRAN AKA FRAN
LONDON
VESPAS:
Happy Pillion
Fran has ridden Vespastically on two continents for over three years. Be it clinging on for dear life in Piccadilly, or screaming her head off during mid-road punch ups in San Francisco, she is always game for a ride. She has since ditched the pudding bowl haircut for an altogether more natural look. She threatens to get her own bike one of these days. Her Mum says otherwise.
BRUCE AKA “The Old Guy”
CHARLESTON, SC
VESPA: GT200
Bruce acquired a Vespa after riding his son’s up to Mulholland Drive four summers ago in Los Angeles. Once local to Chicago, he now rides daily in Charleston, a more hospitable scooter climate.
