Special thank you to the 2016 Cannonball crew that inspired me to put down 200+ miles today and make my first out of state dash across the Georgia Tennessee border. My first out of state trek, and hopefully the first of many, on a Vespa.

Vivian (our GTS250) kept up great with the bigger bikes and did well during a big downpour.

Yep! Scooter Cannonball 2018, here you come!

It must be a bug, like the Vespa one.

Congratulations, I'm sure it will be just the beginning of many more longer rides.

Congrats. Clap emoticon Clap emoticon Didn't take the Vespa out because our downpour was part of a hurricane that hit our islands. We just got lots of rain.

William, If you truly enjoyed your first long ride, like I do, it is going to be difficult to keep you at home in the future.

Look for cool destinations and routes and let her rip.

I hope to see you on the road soon.

Made it up to Alabama this weekend and crossed my second border.

North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida is next in our hit list.

And you can always look for any excuse to go for a nice long ride. Good tacos are worth at least 200 miles...ice cream...300!
