Hi All

Below are some pics of our recent trip from Johannesburg travelling down the escarpment to the city of Durban on the east coast of South Africa. The total distance travelled on the trip was 810 km over 3 days which was relatively easy going. The group comprised of 8 Vespas and 5 Lambrettas. Ninety percent of the trip was off the major motorway route and therefore the scenario we were treated with was outstanding. Judging from the pics below I think you will agree that South Africa is situated in a beautiful part of the world.

More pics are available on our Facebook page;

https://www.facebook.com/vesparadosjhb

There is a healthy rivalry between the Vespa and Lambretta riders in Johannesburg. Currently the Lambretta SA Facebook page has more likes than the Vesparados SC Joburg page.

SO PLEASE ALL LIKE OUR PAGE

Thanks

Fantastic pictures Vespigi! A trip of a few days is what it's all about for me!

After Vader comes to Australia (assuming he doesn't get eaten by a Red Back Spider or mauled by a Drop Bear) then he can go to SA!

Come on guys! The 'Vesparados SC Joburg' Facebook page has not received one like from any member of Modern Vespa.

I'm starting to think that Jess has banned all of you from using Facebook so that more time is spent at Modern Vespa.

On our page we are asking our followers to select the best pic of our recent trip. Some of the pics are posted above but there are lots more on the Facebook page. Please visit the page and select your best pics by liking the pic.

Sweet bike, has me wanting to snatch one up. Since it's your bike, I liked your FB page, that's the least I could do.

Hey how was Zulu Land?
Kwazulu-Natal, aka The Zulu Kingdom was stunning. Part of our trip was along the world famous Comrades Marathon route. We stopped at a pub which is situated at the halfway point of the Comrades Marathon and overlooks The Valley of a Thousand Hills....... breathtaking.

I wish!! One of the places I'd like to visit before I kick the bucket. I used to ride mt. bikes with a bloke from Durban and he taught a couple of South African slang words. Looks like a beautiful place.

I was in Cape Town last week, and rented a vespa to ride out to Cape Point. It was a great ride.

I wish I had more time to spend in South Africa, because it is a beautiful country!

See there is always a double sided blade with this type of offer. for instance I will be visiting my Inlaws next year in Auckland , plan is to visit with them for a few days then take their camper van and do some touring.

See what I am getting at here Beats Walkin ROFL emoticon
