The good news is that a Vespa dealer is coming to the area. WRS Motorsports has become an authorized Vespa Dealer. They are going to carry Vespa, Piaggio, and Aprilla brand scooters.
The bad news is that WRS isn't in a cute urban boutique, conveniently located in downtown Lancaster. They are country. And I don't mean Carrie Underwood country; we're talking Shooter Jennings country. They are across the river, halfway between Red Lion and Felton.
Good: they are building a brand-spanking new showroom to display their large inventory. Bad: said inventory is currently on back-order and not expected until some time in August. I'm told they ordered 50 scooters, but they could trickle in or come all at once.
More good news: WRS could teach most motorsports dealers a thing or two about being open for business. They are open 9am-7:30pm weekdays and 9-2 on Saturday. More bad news: they are a little tough to find. They are at 1188 Felton Rd, which looks like a farm house from the front. The store is in back. Look for the small WRS sign out by the road.

Okay, does the good news outweigh the bad, is it vice versa, or do they balance each other out?
Overall, it's good, if you want a Vespa. Obviously I'd like to see a dealer in Lancaster. But considering you can reach WRS any weeknight, even if you work until 5, it's a lot better than Reading or Wertzville.
I'll put in a plug on the good news side. WRS has been gracious in allowing our small but friendly York County Scooter Club to meet on the premises. And they did some good, cost effective and on-time work on my Bajaj Chetak. I live south of York, and I like having them to rely on. My prev. dealer in Bel Air MD went out of business. And WRS's inventory is back and looking very very good and tempting!
