Can Corbin borrow your GTS?
I wrote to the folks at Corbin to tell them about mentioning them in my previous blog entry, and got two letters back.

Thanks for writing and thanks for the mention!We are looking for someone to loan us a GTS 250 so we can tool up a new seat for this nice little ride (we've had a few requests for a seat since the middle of the year) so if you happen to know anyone or don't mind spreading the word - we'd appreciate it!
Only catch is that we need the scoot here in our Hollister, CA factory and I promise we'll take good care of the Vespa - we even provide the first production part free as a way of saying 'thanks' for loaning us the scoot.
...and then Kerry over in R & D reiterated:
I read your article. Thanks for the mention. We are actually looking for a Vespa GTS 250 to test the fit of our seats. If you happen to hear from anyone located close enough to our corporate office in Hollister, California that would like to let us borrow their Vespa for a couple of weeks, we'd reciprocate their loaner with a free saddle.
So go on over to check out Corbin's "most wanted" list here, and click on the email link at the end.
In the meantime, while the rest of us are waiting for you to get your scooter over to Corbin, check out the ideas we're coming up with over at ModernVespa.
