A little ride on my Vespa
« on: September 06, 2024, 05:54:25 PM »
I Don't have a kymco anymore but i still have a couple of scooters.  Last month I took my Vespa on a little ride.  I thought I'd share a few pics.

No I hauled it out but one of my friends bought a new Vespa and took off for California from Nashville 2 days later.  Then we toured CA and OR for 9 days and then he rode it home.  8,000 miles in less than a month and he's 78.

A few more pics from my ride.

Cool!
Thanks for posting!
My favorite part of the PCH was walking/thumbing the 350 mile stretch from Santa Barbara to San Francisco.
Riding it would be great - only second to experiencing it on foot!

BTW  - tough way to break in a new scooter. The school of drive it like you stole!.....but at 78....etc.

Wife has a 2023 Vespa 300, loves it. our house can't afford 2 so I stay off it. rides like a dream though, and a lot faster than I thought they were. enjoy that one you have. we are lucky enough to have a Vespa dealer less than 10 miles away. hope they stay, things have been really slow for them
