My wife snapped this while I wandered the Louvre in our last hours, following my pedantic Vespa spotting lectures

Thanks for this! Some great shots and a fun read. You do have a knack for photography.

With running a buisness and one of our dogs getting up there in years we can't travel except to the cottage. So I really appreciate these threads and living vicariously through your travels

Forgot all about this thread!

...and stoked to see y'all keeping it alive.

Some friends of ours were in Mallorca this year -- sounds very cool!

The "cousin" we visited in London this May is vacationing in Corfu and just sent me this:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS Tdrake!!!

I loved seeing all of those Vespa's and Lambretta's out in the wild!

Also, that two-toned checkered windscreen is giving me ideas!!!

Heh, yep! My super patient wife actually let me come back to this scoot three times cuz I didn’t like the first shots 🙄 And kept having to step out into the street.... 🤪

Only one shot from today, in Cordoba, which is fine as it means there’s so little traffic, thank god,...but where it’s also 101F/38C....🔥🔥

Viareggio, Italy.

Could not resist the red Fiat and red Vespa in the same pic

Almost a typical catering here: some Vespas, some motorcycles of mixed brands, more various Piaggio scooters and some Yamaha scoots here and there.

That's a rough one. I saw almost excatly similar in Northern Italy, but did not have my cam/phone at time. It looked like the owner had sand blasted the frame a bit from here and there and then propably applied a transparent layer of laquer on the top....otherwise it looked pretty much identical.

Sad to say, I managed to go through the whole trip without capturing any of the vintakes I saw. There were not many, but a few quite nice ones.

I had this thing of deliberately leaving my phone away when going to dinner or beach....I know, I'm old fashioned.
