2nd Alpen CUSTOM Show in Innsbruck-Völs

 

Alpen Custom Show 2015

We were at the Alpen Customshow 2015 Innsbruck

The Contact with our customers is very important to us. Such is the tradition of great own Scooter Center Events like our own Scooter Custom Show SCOOTERSHOW and the Classic Days very big. the Support the scene is a matter of course for us, so we support a lot of scooter meetings and are also at many events with our own Scooter Center / bgm - Stand represent. So we went to the last weekend too Alps Customshow of our friends from Tyrol.

IMG_9967-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015 IMG_9955-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

After an arduous journey with over 800km, lots of traffic jams and holiday traffic, we arrived in Innsbruck in beautiful Tyrol with the best weather!
Stop - I think we have to clean up here first:

“Alpen Customshow”, “beautiful Tyrol”, “best weather”... NO, unfortunately the custom show did not take place in a mountain hut with cow bells ringing. After all: thanks to Innsbruck's great location, there was still a mountain panorama: as soon as you step out of the event hall:

IMG_0042-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

No vacation in Tyrol

And of course it wasn't a vacation either, it was hard work, because we had made every effort to use the huge storage space of the long van effectively and loaded the cart full of scooter parts.

IMG_9973-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

But thanks to the many helping hands of the Mountainmen scooter club, our van was unloaded very quickly. So we were ready for the rush of visitors right on time for the start of the first Alpine Customshow in Innsbruck.

IMG_9992-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

We had a lot to do all day and enjoyed the many interesting conversations with our international customers

  • Germany,
  • Österreich,
  • Italy and
  • Switzerland is very happy.

This weekend, they are special to us. often noticed by very young Vespa drivers, some of whom bought from us with their parents. This is how we imagine family shopping together on the “long Saturday” :-)
It's nice to see that the long-term support of the scene pays off and that young, enthusiastic Vespa and Lambretta drivers are also joining us!

Speaking of the “long Saturday”: the customshow lasted until 20:00 p.m. - a long and exhausting day, which we had a lot of fun.

IMG_0036-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

We had promised fair prices and many scooterists have on Scooter Center Stand made real bargains. Thanks to our mobile payment terminal, customers were also able to go along with ease Credit, debit cards and even PayPal pay, which was very well received. We have several boxes of those new bgm catalogs distributed, costly merchandise, benches, tires, rims, helmets, ignitions, small parts etc. and were very happy to be able to drive home relatively empty.

The storm on the BigBox

A very special kind of rush surprised us in the late afternoon:
We have had some of our new bgm PRO BigBox Sport Vespa exhaust systems for the whole day Vespa PX 80-150 and Vespa PX 200 / Rally 200 sold, but suddenly the demand exploded and we sold two huge boxes of BigBoxes within a very short time. Only later it turned out that outside on the test bench an exhaust test took place. The operator of the test bench had tested a lot of exhaust systems here and of course the performance of the BigBox had convinced everyone here. The performance-oriented Vespatuners took advantage of the favorable opportunity and bought a new BigBox directly on site at the fair price.

IMG_9986-alpen-customshow-innsbruck-2015

Thus the bus was loaded relatively quickly and the stand was quickly dismantled. Many thanks again to our friends Andy, Stoffi and Zini, who helped us with the tent dismantling and with whom we spent a nice evening at the evening event in the Weekender.

My wish list for Innsbruck

A custom show to survive

For the members of the Mountainmen Vespa Club from the Inntal / Austria, the nearby Scooter Customshows in Ried and in Customshow Munich were always a light on the horizon of the had and cold and thus - VESPA-FREE winter.

But what should the poor do in 2015? Neither in Munich nor in Ried a custom show sight !! Would they survive the harsh winter like this?
To make sure that you survive, follow a two-pronged strategy:

1st Scooter Customshow in Cologne

On the one hand, on March 21.03st some set out over the mountains to us in Cologne and take part in the Scooter Center custom show SCOOTERSHOW#15 part. After all, that's over 800km.

2. Own custom show in Innsbruck

The other way is a little harder: that Organization of your own custom show!
Since a gap opened up in the south in 2015, the Mountainmen Vespaclub in Innsbruck seized the opportunity to offer itself as a location for a custom show. Centrally located between CH, Italy and Bavaria, the organizers are hoping for a large audience - and that Scooter Center is in!

Markus from the Mountainmen Vespaclub says:

“What makes us particularly happy are the many scooter riders spare no effort and travel from far and wide to present their treasures. Wonderful, curious, breathtaking conversions next to old O-Lack Vespen. That's how it should be. We are also proud of some innovations in the tuning scene. So 2 suppliers come with novelties from the Wideframe Tunning area and a brand new one 60 HP Smalframe engine is tested on the test bench. But every small screwdriver can do his work on the dynamometer let measure. Workshops in the area of ​​TÜV then show everyone the limits of development. Exhibitors with live tattoos and airbrushes get the most out of driver and machine. Finally rocking out in the weekender on the allnighter.
Each participant in the show receives a metal plaque. The first 100 visitors also get a metal badge, with an entry price of 5 euros !!! We do our best, look at you !!!

Highlights

  • Super scooter
  • Great location
