Moped Clubs

Vespuds! Started in 1999 when one of four friends found a '82 Vespa Grande while looking at Golf clubs in a Thrift Store. He bought his bike for $150 and the Vespuds were born. Now a whopping 6 riders strong with 2 of them undesirable non-vespa machines but we are not here to judge others we are here to ride. And ride we did on the first offical ride of the new year 2000 with a 430 mile tour from O'side to Santa Barbara and back. A three day tour to prove anywhere is in reach on a moped if you have the time. Always looking for fellow riders of Vespa mopeds or one of those other brands to join us on local and distance rides.

Dan Webber (Kalamazoo, MI) Tuesday 05/12/98 Decepticons now have a webpage! Here's their mission statement: "The decepticons were formed in the summer of 1997, the only reason we exist is to have fun, and perpetuate the love of the moped. when we are done we want to have many chapters around the world, it is about time the moped gained back the respect it once had. another function of our organization, is to provide protection against the animals out there that would steal your moped. to give back some justice to people who should have known better."
