An Infestation of Wasps this weekend!
Enthusiasts and riders of Vespa (literally, ‘wasp’ in Italian) in the Philippines (particularly, Manila and surrounding provinces) are abuzz for the second annual convention & rallye of scooterists this coming weekend.
In my book, December 2 & 3 is reserved for Vespa Attack II – Invasion Philippines! Woo-hoo!
UPDATE: postponed for December 9. Read this posting for update!
This scooter rallye, which only started last year, is spearheaded by Jordan Cinco — a Filipino scooterist based in Chicago.
I’m reposting here the schedule of events posted by direkyey in the Vespinoy forum.

Time to have PYKE checked, tuned-up, prepped and pimped for this anticipated event! Log on to the Vespinoy forum for additional info. There are some cool merchadise/souvenirs available during the event. If you’re a local Vespanatic like myself, take some time to join this event. Let’s keep the local scootering scene alive! =)
