From The Chatanoogan

More than 450 scooter riders from across the country and beyond will be taking to the streets this Thursday through Sunday for Vespa Club of America’s Amerivespa 2008. Amerivespa is the country’s largest scooter rally; it travels to a new city each year.

This year VCOA teamed with Hill City United Scooter Club to organize and host this event. After a year of planning and with support of local and national sponsors, organizers expect this to be an event that brings quite a bit of attention to Chattanooga.

“I have visited Chattanooga several times in the past few years, and through those trips I knew this was a city I wanted to bring Amerivespa to,” said J.D. Merryweather, president of Vespa Club of America. “We have an amazing schedule planned, and I encourage anyone interested in riding a scooter, no matter what brand it is, to join us this weekend.”

Moto Concorso is an exhibition of performance and street motorcycles designed for road or competition use. Scooters and Mopeds of every brand and vintage will be on hand to help celebrate the Giro activities.

This concourse of historical and modern motorcycles is presented by the Ducati Vintage Club, an official Ducati Desmo Owners Club organization, Ducati North America, and with the Genuine Scooter Company.

It is hoped that this intriguing educational and social event will invoke the visitor’s curiosity and admiration for the efforts and passion of the designers, developers and owners of these magnificent examples of engineering development and artistic manifestation.

The Moto Concorso will highlight the motorcycles that defined the Motogiro event in Italy and also the art, innovation and raw functionality of Italian racing motorcycles. On special display will be some of the motorcycles of the Silverman Museum Racing Collection.
