So i turned over 35,000 miles and i am in love with my Vespa now, just as i was at 1 mile. Nothing else puts me in a good mood or a smile on my face like when i'm riding him. My Vino does not give me the same feeling. Can anything? Don't think so.Thanks to everybody on here who has helped me get this far and to my local friends who keep him going. 8)

That's a lot of miles! 8)

Wishing you the next 35,000 miles to be every bit as enjoyable or more so than the first 35,000.

Wow-you should get yourself a new hula skirt to celebrate! Congratulations! I just rolled over 25,000 on my GTS. Makes me smile that I actually use this bike. You should be proud!

About to hit 16,000 miles on my '08 this week.

Not bad, considering I had the bike in storage for 3 years!!.

Keep riding--it keeps us sane.

And how deep is the groove you have worn around the island?

Thanks everyone. BOB i've put 3 on the front and 5 on the rear. The stock rear didn't last long and i put a Metzler on. That one had to be plugged at about 12,500. So i got some Heidenau's. Front didn't really need to be changed but i wanted a matching set. I Just put a fresh Heidenau on the rear in Jan at 31,000 so i have about 9,000 more miles. Front one gets changed every 4 years just because.

Really nice to see that kind of mileage on a Vespa. I've got a little over 10,000 on my LXV and only 6,000 on the GTV. So they should last me forever.

Awesome Judy!!!

I haven't ridden at all this summer. I've been riding bicycles whenever I have time. And doing about a hundred other things.

Thanks everyone. CAMPER not all but most. Some days i do feel like a Gerbil in a wheel but every day is different here. I can ride down the coast in the morning and the water will be like glass and when i come back there 10ft waves. Next month i'm heading over to the Big Island to visit a friend and used to be neighbor. She has a Ruckus (another scooter also) so i'll get to ride over there. Many places to explore 8) Haven't been riding very much after i rolled over the 35 tho. Been to hot,humid and rainy. Tropical rains. Crying or Very sad emoticon TURK i'll never catch up to your mileage but 35,000 is respectable. Thanks to everybody on here and my scooting buddies over here for keeping me on the road. It's been an adventure. Scooter emoticon Scooter emoticon Scooter emoticon
