Modern Vespa

My other Italjet at Scooterage SF

MV sticker and mohican.




Wicked!

Since I've somehow managed to avoid posting in this thread over the last five years, it looks like I have some catching up to do. So here goes!

Here's a recent one of my daughter Emmie and I about to enter Longhorn Caverns


My lovely wife Nicole with Emmie at the MotoGP race.


Sometime before the baby was born.


Where I can usually be found.


The creature in its natural habitat.


And lastly, Emmie having some difficulty reaching the forward controls on my Guzzi.

Nice photos, Drewteague, thanks for sharing.

Love your shop; it looks a lot like mine (not)...

Your fam looks like they're doing fine - lucky man.

Oh, almost forgot -- I think Corbin makes a Guzzi seat that places the rider a few inches forward from stock, so you might try that...

Don't have any on my scooter... but here's me.

Love the shop! I'd love to have a space that large to work/play.

Emmie's got good balance ... Especially with the carefully placed hand of mom or dad Great photo!

You Sir, have obviously won the Awesome Life lottery. Good-lookin family, fatastic garage & some sweet 'toys' to ride. Congrats & thanks for the pics. I now have more motivation...right after I finish this beer.

Jet Peddler, in the flesh.

Thanks for that. Such nostalgiia.
Nice to see you all again.

I'll play along

It has been a few years since posting one.

Here is one from the VCdM Rally in Tuscany last year.

Me and Sarah on a ride in a beautiful place.

You can see the joy.

Nice pic Bill; it was indeed a fantastic adventure and the weather was certainly better than 2010. I'm glad I managed to find this thread in the bowels of MV and resurrect it; I've reread it too. It was binned a few years ago due to spamming, but Jess has now sorted that particular (misappropriation of the @ token) bug

Me in my natural state (i.e. with a cat on me.) I'm Shannon BTW. Hi!

Hi Shannon!

Don't want to scare anybody, so I always wear the helmet when my photo is taken. Sorry I don't have one on my Vespa

...partly because I couldn't recall if I'd put my mug someplace along it, but mostly because I was curious about ev'rybody else on this thing, so from the beginning I thusly began. Totally worth it, too - a stretch-collage of an online community and its shifts and changes, even amongst those who've stuck around throughout.

Me, I'm seriously a semi-newcomer by comparison. And, since it appears I didn't make myself known on this thread, I'll start right here:


Me, Melody, Asbury Carousel (Now used as a skateboard park).

"A fine, rainy day..."

Bill, you look like a former coworker's doppelganger!

Is your former coworker a science teacher, by any chance?

Me (on the silver one) and my bro on a friend's "real" scooters, last March down in Utah.

Busted!

Me and my scoot at FYBO 2017 and Abby and I checking out the scoots.

I may or may not have posted before....
Me heading out for a ride on a chilly day a couple years ago.

He was an It guy too, but now he does spend a lot of time in an RV. Hmm

With my beautiful other half:

Taken at Amerivespa this year

Me and the wife by some lake somewhere.

I clammed up.

And i see your avatar has changed. i need some of that!

Not merely a shell.of your former self...

It's what comes of being shell fish.

A shot of me at a holiday gîte in Poilhes, France.
Just relaxing and sampling some of the local vintages.
One down and 1 1/2 to go.

Geez folks, I know I'm not pretty, but to shut down the thread?

I guess I'd better add a little beauty and see if we can revive it.

Here's my wife and me in Chinon, France.

Me with a pal from work.

(I'm on the left)

Glad you clarified that. Your friend looks a bit artificial.

My GF and I in St Augustine this past May

Me at my 50th high school reunion.

Me and the missus at 10K scoots in Minneapolis.

There's likely a younger version of me back a ways, but I'll spare you the work.

Spike & me at this year's Isle of Wight scooter rally (i'm the short one, he's the bald one)
