My better half is going to be out of town this weekend and I'd like to take the Vespa for a little road/camping trip.

Should I wait until she's surpassed the 645 break-in service first?

If not, any suggestions for a decent ride an hour or two from the LA area?

Malibu canyons fun, PCH, Rose Bowl. That's a good start.

This is a great start! Haven't made any of these trips for a while and never via scoot.

You should check out the Los Angeles Scooter Group.
They are a great group of scooterists. They don't have a ride this weekend, but keep them in mind for the future. The rides are free, but sometimes the destination has a cost. For example, we went to the Santa Anita racetrack and had free parking, but had to pay to get in. Also had to pay for the wagering.

Los Angeles is a huge city. Where R U starting from and how many miles R U thinking? Are you starting in north county, south county, coastal or inland?

Looking for coastal areas or more inland? Curvy roads, or ....?

Do you plan to use freeways to get part way, or local roads the entire trip?

The city has 500 square miles, the county (which includes much of what many consider LA) is nearly 5,000

Many many alternatives, give us some more info Razz emoticon
