Modern Vespa

We all like pics. Let's take some more!
One rule- Your Vespa must leave the house/shed/garage/shop etc etc.
Take some pics while you're out and post em here.

Who doesn't like a Vespa in the wild anyways?


At the William Leonidas Springs off of Lincoln Dr. in Philadelphia,Pa

Great thread idea. My et3 is finishing up a little project this week, but I will probably get some shots later this week or early next when it's back on the road!

Far from home...

Fun thread. Here's a 3-fer...
In front of the UT BMS School in the Houston Medical Center.

L- R my shitbox VNB, Captcha's ~59/60 "Torqoise Terror" VBA, PoiDogs 1963 GL

What is going on behind the leg shield of the VBA?

Tachometer and temp gauge and other fancy-pantsy monitoring gizmos. That thing is kitted out like a rocket. As pictured it would easily do 70 (on 8's!)... now its been "refined" further, maybe gets upper 70's? Maybe 80?!?

Hands down the craziest 8 inch bike I have ever ridden.

Holy cow. 70 on 10's is scary enough I don't want to imagine it on 8's. I just keep seeing a pot hole and a trail of tears behind me on the road.

But me of 20 yrs ago would have blasted that all over town! Now I'm an old wuss with kids.

I ❤️ this thread! Wish I was a contributor and not just a voyeur

Soon, maybe. Am inspired by your pics!

Ummm, 60 on 8s is a ball shrinking, butt puckering experience, so wuss... I don't think so!

okay... question... my shop door is 288ft from the gate. if I leave the shop and ride around in the driveway and along the fence does that count?

fwiw, the drive way and associated area is long and wide enough to do figure 8's

I know bass lake! used to go there for a month every summer when I was young. waterski, dirt bike, hike and camp. great fun. damn lake is cold as balls even in august!

used to race cigarette boats late in the day when it got calm and smooth. that seems like a lifetime ago now!

This is quite old but a bit of my Rally outside Sydney Opera House.


Sydney Opera House

Yes, I used to camp there at Bass Lake but a bark beetle infestation killed thousands of trees around the lake so now I just hang out at Ducey's Lodge and drink beer. You can see some of the dead trees in the pic.

Yes!

I love that green.

great shots!

this is excellent news and pleases me greatly. I'll never have to leave my compound again!

Me and my Allstate in York (no, not New York) PA.

They call it Grigio Polaris, the paint name is a grey but it looks green!!

Hey, that's taken from inside a saab like mine

My last good ride was in Greece a couple of weeks ago.


We went down to the port.

First time I saw a floating dry dock.

There were two of them, side by side.

I took a spring shakedown ride a couple of weeks ago. This is down by the water in Seattle. It's been nothing but rain since then.




New seat cover, pad, and spare.

Shake down ride, 3 miles from home

Nice P, I like the look of the floorboards. What'd you do with those?

Thanks mate. Its T5 floor mats.
You have nice Vespa Club of Ukraine sticker Thanks a lot for support.


Summer 2021. Vespa Club of Ukraine on the Galicia Rally 1000 in the Carpathian Mountains.

Break in the rain.

Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior.

So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender:

-Is Crimea ours?

-Yes, it is.

-And the Donbas?

-Also ours.

-And Kyiv?

-We got that too.

Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks:

-Thanks, how much do I owe you?

-5 euros.

But not "5 euros"
5 hryvnas

A favorite old pic not too far south of you Mr Roland. Here it used to be drachmas and beer was a lot cheaper then too!

Just after buying her last weekend.

I Really like your scooters. One of the best as for me

From last nights two stroke Tuesday!

Did a longer shake down ride today

Took my Stella down to the DMV to get my smallframe registered. Got an a-hole employee who wouldn't let me register it untitled with the correct proof of ownership documents from the seller. Told me I didn't have the correct documents and needed to go up to Albany to get a title for it, and wouldn't listen to me that I had the correct documents cause I registered another one with the same documents last month at the same dmv. Employees are like a lottery. Sometimes you get a difficult one, sometimes you get a happy one.

So I left and chose to go for a long ride down to the Verrazano bridge Park and will go back next week and get it registered with a less obnoxious DMV employee.

Getting real close on jetting on this Stella! It's crazy fast now and extremely clean throttle response.
