Modern Vespa

This is inspired by tdrake's 'just five miles out of town' thread, and is really just an excuse to get people to post more pictures on here.

Post your pictures around town, just out of town, etc if you live in the Portland, OR area, or happen to be traveling through.

Nice photos! Love your use of light.

Some day, back to Portland.

It'll probably rain again.

Yeah, keep 'em coming!

Taking local pics of my Vespa this year has really enriched my appreciation for where I live...even on days I don't take or post a good shot, the act makes me attend to the beauty of my surroundings, which is something most of us don't do enough, imho.

And I just love scrolling thru everyone else's pics -- it's another, similar, way to enter into the world instead of feeling office bound.

Headed to P-town for family Thanksgiving this year, btw, so expect sheets of rain that week. Also hoping to hook up with an old high school friend who, coincidentally, restored my P200 after I wrecked it in 1982.

Here is shot of from a few years ago in front of VQ

I believe today is the last day at this location after 30+ years

They are moving to the old Yamhill Market

Gotta make way for that new courthouse, huh?

Nice looking bike and pic!

My Vespa was a prop in a photoshoot this weekend in Couch Park. This was in-between model clothing changes. 8am, Saturday.

Go'n Pro on a Fall day...

Went downtown to see what the protesters were up to. Aside from a few police cars blocking access to a street, and a helicopter buzzing overhead, it was as if a protest wasn't happening at all. Elsewhere downtown, Range Rovers piled out of a garage after a show at The Schnitzer Theater let out, bars were full, and people were walking around like any other Friday night. Bright neon signs next to unlit scooters don't cooporate so well with an iPhone. Such is life.

Awesome pic!

Yes, nice pics.

It's gone. Bummer.

If Instagram is your thing I started up an account featuring scooters around Portland. Follow along.

Yesterday's views cruise. Taken facing west at a school overlooking I-5. Fremont Bridge in the background.

Nice to see you back at it! Four frickfrackfookin inches of snow here this morn!

Been really digging the Instagram feed, so keep 'em coming!

That first photo with the Mexican chefs is so atmospheric. I wish I was there

Visiting that cart is a must if you make it to this part of the world someday.

Hello fellow PDXer. Are you active with the Portland Scooter Social Club or the Oregon Scooter Club?

I've never ridden with Oregon Scooter Club and I've gone on one PSSC ride. Mostly I just ride to tacos!

Rode the Canby Ferry today. It's pulled by an underwater cable across the Willamette River. $2 each way for motorcycles. It was great weather for January and no one was out due to the football game. Empty farm roads are a dream.
