Dock your iPod on your Vespa

My wife and I took our honeymoon in Italy a few years ago, and those Vespa scooters were absolutely everywhere. When we returned home, I said, "I want one of those Vespas," but it just didn't seem to have the same panache here in the states. Plus, I'm likely to get crushed by an SUV. Still, I think about them from time to time, especially when I see one with an integrated iPod dock.

The Stereo Kit by Scooterworks is a $300US kit that includes an amp, two 4-inch Alpine speakers, replacement glove box door with pre-cut holes, and a cradle/connector. They send you the kit, and you put it in. The Stereo Kit works with the Vespa Stella and P-series models.

Now I want a Vespa again.

Not to be anal, but it's a "Genuine Stella", not a Vespa. Being a proud owner of a Stella, I just had to point that out... :)

Looks like a really cool upgrade for a scoot, but also seems pricy. I may think about doing something similar putting my iPod Shuffle to use. Vespas and Stellas aren't the most "smooth" rides and I don't like the idea of subjecting my 5g iPod to these vibrations. :)
