Corazzo realized that their Corazzo 5.0 was fast becoming the iconic scooter riders jacket - smartly, they did not venture too far from its design when they created the Corazzo Ventata. We love the Corazzo 5.0 jacket. If you can afford only one jacket and you ride in a variety of conditions, that is the jacket to get. The Corazzo Ventata is a superb warm weather jacket and can be supplemented with a sweater or hoody underneath for mor warmth when required or a rain coat over top is you get caught out in the rain. Available in black or silver. Highly recommended.

A recent study by the Seattle-based Sightline Institute shows that in 2009 British Columbia binged on fuel consumption. Per capita gas consumption rose by 10% - the highest year-over-year consumption increase in the last 30 years. Rationalize this in any way you want, it just shows that British Columbians, by and large, just don't seem to give a damn about the environment and conservation. The economy goes into a bit of a dive, gas prices get cheap, and we just give up on more fuel efficient means of transportation.

To ride your scooter or motorcycle safely, you have to dress for success. Unlike your car which provides you with some exterior protection, your motorcycle or scooter relies on your good judgment to wear the proper protective clothing. This is one of the great things about riding - that freedom, that wind in the face, being able to take in your surroundings. Be safe - dress for success.

Scooter horsepower is measured in so many different ways that it becomes virtually meaningless to try to compare scooters based on this rating. A good test ride with the type of rider and load that the scooter will be carrying is the best test. Beyond that, scooters can be performance tuned - this is an art!
