One of the biggest media in the UK, Dailymail reported about komuniitas vintage vespa or vespa 'beggars' were later crowded in Indonesia. In the article referred to that Vespa with extreme modification is reminiscent of the vehicles used by Mel Gibson and Tina Turner in the film Madmax.
Machine stubborn and noisy image , that is the reason for the rabid fan vespa in Palembang . The last ten years the Vespa community is growing in the city .
The roar of the engine is noisy from the Vespa scooter enthusiasts characterizes , if the convoy is about to begin . The
fans of this Italian -made scooter does have a regular agenda in each
week , which surrounds the city of Palembang starting Jakabaring .
Every week dozens of members took time to participate in the convoy . There is an old Vespa engine tested , those that are deliberately showing off Vespa with new assemblies . Vespa belonging to members of the community in the city is very diverse pempek . However, the average Vespa Vespa owned not new but from the output of 70 to 80 .
Some members modify their Vespa style and a unique model . Or also in accordance with the style of each owner. But not a few who retain the original design as a form of their loyalty to the old scooter .
Unlike
the overseas community mods or growing in other parts of Indonesia ,
this community does not have a certain understanding . Anyone Vespa fans , either the user , collector or just like to modify it to join in this container . I wonder if the members come from diverse backgrounds .
Vespa largest communities in South Sumatra also has an agenda for social activities . There are scores of family owned community members who always glue .
Vespa . Who is not familiar with any of the manufacturer Piaggio scooter production is very legendary ? Although
the country of origin of Italian scooter is somewhat archaic , until
now there are many who enjoyed his existence , both the young and old.
Currently
still be found fanatical fans Vespa , one of the products of the
manufacturer Piaggio scooters , motorcycles spur his faithful that have
been modified and reconditioned here and there . So fanatical , if someone already love on a Vespa , he was willing to sacrifice to fix the scooter up to roadworthy .
Currently , Piaggio Vespa has come back in Indonesia , so not merely a figure carrying a vintage scooter . Just
look, this time on the streets have sprung diverse variants of the
Vespa scooter matic latest version , still with a classic design . Even since July 15, 2005 , the Vespa fans already have their own community forum called the Piaggio Club Indonesia ( PCI ) .
According to the Chairman of the PCI , pikukuh , Piaggio motorcycle fan club now has a membership of more than 500 people . They
come from various backgrounds , ranging from businessmen , civil
servants , until they are engaged in the creative industries . " This community is an opportunity for fans to share Piaggio scooters are still fairly rare , " said Strong .
According
to Strong , since the re-emergence of Piaggio car manufacturers in
Indonesia , the PCI community is growing along with the price per unit
of the Piaggio scooter even more affordable compared to other motors ,
the price is still relatively more expensive .
In PCI , there is usually some kind of Piaggio often mejeng together every gathering together in one place . The first type is the Piaggio MP3 three-wheeled scooter or ( two wheels in front ) with a capacity of 250-400 cc engine . Second , Piaggio Xevo to type touring motorcycles with engine capacity of 250 cc . Third , Piaggio X9 with a capacity of 180-250 cc engine . Last series 125cc Vespa .
Vespa
scooter type , according to Strong , the most dominating whenever this
community come together with a percentage over 70 percent . Because
, besides the price is cheaper Vespa , Vespa has a more petite figure
and artistic , easy to drive , in addition to simpler in terms of design
. It makes the Vespa is more dominant than the other Piaggio motor products .
To
restrict its members are not too many , the nature of community
membership is not open for the PCI deliberately old Vespa owners . This community only allows members to have a maximum motor output in 2000. This
is because the PCI has a vision and mission that this is the era of
automatic Vespa scooter with four engines are more environmentally
friendly and practical because it does not use fuel oil mix .
Today , the growing number of PCI membership . Unfortunately
, the dynamics of Piaggio scooters these last years is still
constrained by the parts that are still scarce and expensive . Belt is a very important component for automatic motor still have to be imported at a price range of 600 thousand dollars . Likewise, the roller is worth about 250 thousand dollars . "
This is the point ( value added , ed . ) Gathered fellow lover of
Piaggio in order to overcome obstacles together as addressing the issue
of spare parts , " said Strong .
According
to Grace Irsanto , one of the leaders of this community , the idea of
the establishment of the PCI in addition to establish a place of
communication between Piaggio scooter lover , could be a forum to
channel activity agendas individual members ranging from just gathering
together , touring together , to social activities that benefit fellow .
So far , the PCI has toured remote as to who carried out the Bali 2010. The Italian scooter enthusiast this journey takes many days to get there . As well as Vespa , Piaggio scooters also have a character for a relaxing trip , although can be accelerated . Therefore, it can not push yourself when you carry this scooter with a specific target date . "
Home from Bali , our motor transport by truck or motorcycle rider as
well have been exhausted , " Strong said while parse a smile at the
memory .
