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 .

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 .
