YouTubeThe weather, and being a one car family again, has inspired me to get another scooter. I think I want to go all out and get a side car for the dog (soon to be dogs) this time. Anyone have any leads on that?

A few us were at MotOhio European Motorbikes on E. Main yesterday and they had a whole bunch of Vespa and Piaggio scooters out and ready to go. They also have BMW, Ducati, Triumph, and Husqvarna.
Some of the scooters were really cool. Theres a bunch of scooter places to shop at around here though so look around.

Heres one in Mississippi: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Restored-Vespa-with-Sidecar-5-Port-Motor_W0QQitemZ320234803354QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320234803354
Also, I think you can order a Stella with a sidecar from GenuineScooters.com.
Here you can order just the sidecar for $1900: http://www.scooterworks.com/Sidecar__Cozi_8_inch_Rocket_Style_P3919.cfm

Scootering down to the North Market is one of my favorite warm weather things ever.
We were just talking about this at Warehouse Saturday, while I think a motorcycle would spell doom for me...I do want a scooter.

Gets better gas mileage than a motorcycle. I love my motorcycles, and would never be without one - but scooters are just ridiculously fun.
If you saw me out yesterday, I was ripping down alleys - standing up riding thru puddles and doing mini wheelies, all with a big shit eating grin on my face. You couldn't miss me.

I think I saw you on high yesterday. You have a vino (or something like it) right?
I've been watching that Mississippi one. If I had somewhere to work on it, I would get the red on that is way cheaper. There is a great deal on a stella with sidecar for 3500 I found in Illinois, but it's pink so...

Yeah, a Vino 50. I got it last year for something ridiciluous like $750. Doesn't even have 1k miles on it. Cheap, reliable, lightweight, very low maintenance, amazing gas milage, insanely convenient. I could fit like five bags of ice or three cases of pbr on the floor of that puppy.
A sidecar would extremely limit your parking options though you know.
They do make those "cages" you can affix to your scooter much like a tail bag for dogs depending on the size.

If you have a vintage scooter that needs work, my husband fixes them as a sideline. His day job is repairing European high end autos at Specialty Sports Cars, but he loves scooters and has several 2 wheeled vehicles (as well as a flock of microcars). PM me and I'll send you our phone number.

I bought/am in the process of buying a mint green Genuine Stella. It has less than 100 miles on it and I got a great deal.
Mint green wasn't my color of choice, but it'll suffice. I think I'm going to airbrush pics of my cats on the fenders. I seriously can't wait much longer to take possession.

With scooters I'm definately more function over form. If it was up to me, I'd paint it with rattle can black bedliner a la Captain Janks for ultimate durability.

Heres a local sidecar scooter for sale:

Not sure, but I would think this is at least $3000 overpriced.

Sorry I have no leads for the sidecar, you could try posting on the cutter board or on the local threads on modernvespa.
Other people interested in buying a scooter, here is my page with the stores listed: http://scooterfan.wordpress.com/where-to-buy-in-columbus/
Your best bet (if buying new) are the 3 big scooter options in town, with other more motorcycle focused stores (like the Hilliard place) being another option.
