„Robin Davy and his Vespa. It‘s a deep and unique love affair. His passion for Vespas is the stuff that Hollywood romantic movies are made of. You could humorously say that Robin is married to his Vespa. He gets up with Vespa and goes to bed with Vespa. And he is sure to dream of Vespa at night.

Robin has been collecting everything to do with the Italian scooter for 40 years. The native Englishman built his Vespa paradise in his adopted home of Munich. His museum in a Munich underground car park is legendary. Vespa fans from all over the world have been there and still visit it to experience the history of the Vespa in a fascinating way with all senses. He has revived the great tradition of Vespa acrobatics with his Vespa-Oldtimer Freunde club in Munich. He has been performing with his Vespa troupe all over Europe for over 20 years. I was lucky enough to write the book „Vespa Forever“ with Robin and also the children‘s book „Enrico‘s Vespa“. His knowledge of the worldwide Vespa history is incredible and certainly unique. I don‘t know anyone who lives a greater love for the Vespa, who dedicates himself to a cause in such a loving way. For me, Robin is Vespa – and Vespa is Robin.“

EUROLAMBRETTA 2019 POLAND ZAKOPANE

To travel directly from the Vespa World Days in ZankaHungary to the largest Lambretta meeting in Europe seemed to us to be a particularly clever stroke of genius. The van is loaded anyways, half the way already travelled. And indeed, our visit to the camping site in Zakopane, Poland was apparently well received. We had the MMW engine case „Killer Case“ on display, the new SIP Performance racing exhaust by Nordspeed, our SIP Digital speedometers, SIP Performance cable kits and various sheet metal parts for Lambretta. Unfortunately, the SIP Performance ignition for Lambretta didn‘t make it in time and we could only present a pre-production sample. The meeting of the Lambretta Club Poland was very well attended. It is estimated that about 600 Lambrettas took part in the rideout. In summary: a really nice meeting in a wonderful place. Zakopane is definitely worth a trip at a different time than in winter.

SIP AID - NEWS

SCOOTERISTS HELP

January 2020: SIP Scootershop donates €3,000 to the ARCHE As in the past 10 years, employees at SIP Scootershop GmbH visited the Arche community again on Wednesday, 22 January 2020 and handed over a donation of €3,000. Arche Landsberg is a community in which people with and without mental disabilities live together on equal terms based on a Christian-ecumenical philosophy. „Since we want to enable even more people with and without mental disabilities to live together in an inclusive, meaningful way in mutual relationships, we are planning to build a new house in the Staufenstraße construction area and to add 10 more residents to our current 10 residents in inpatient and outpatient housing. SIP Scootershop‘s donation comes in handy here, because we can‘t do this on our own. What is special about SIP Scootershop‘s donation is that different employees always come to us who not only hand over the cheque, but also ask questions with a real interest, let us show them around the house, and chat with our roommates over coffee and biscuits. We are also invited to the SIP Scootershop headquarters and the odd small donation reaches us in between. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the friendship and financial support for inclusion and the common good that has lasted for a decade now and we look forward to seeing you again!“

October 2019: SIP Scootershop donates €3,000 to Mary’s Meals SIP Scootershop donates € 3,000 to Mary’s Meals. Mary’s Meals serves a hot meal to hundreds of thousands of the poorest children in the world every school day. Nutrition and being able to go to school allow children to escape the spiral of suffering and poverty. The vision of the aid organisation which was founded in 1992 is for every child to benefit from a school meal each day. At present, Mary’s Meals feeds approximately 1.3 million children in Africa.

November 2019: SIP Scootershop donates €3,000 to HUMEDICA SIP Scootershop donates €3,000 to humedica e.V. based in Kaufbeuren near Landsberg, humedica is an international non-governmental organisation which has provided humanitarian aid in more than 90 different countries since it was founded in 1979. The goal of the humedica‘s work is to help people who find themselves in need due to disasters or structural poverty – at present, that includes the victims of the tsunami in Indonesia.

December 2019: SIP Scootershop donates €3,000 to the SOS Children‘s Village The SOS Children’s Village Ammersee-Lech has benefited from an annual donation from the SIP Scootershop in Landsberg since 2005. This year was no different: employees from SIP Scootershop dropped by in person to present departmental manager Angelica Benz with a cheque to the value of €3,000 for the SOS Children’s Village Ammersee-Lech.
