Modern Vespa

grahamimi,

Fine looking granddaughter. You must be very proud.
I wish I had one. No kids here yet out of my son or daughter.
Everyone is into the career crap.

LukeNL79,

Glad you could get out. Thanks for the fine photo. Third
worst Winter here in Minnesota since 1890 (when they started
keeping records). April 1st we had 8 more inches of snow.

Ride on friends - because you can.

Thank you for the kind words Bob! Hopefully the weather gets better there soon and you can do some scooterin' of your own

Thank you Bob,
Neither of my boys or their partners want children but both my daughter's made up for them. One has 4 the other 2

All the best

Graham

This is our only grandchild, 5 months old today. He sits in the 98th percentile for length - I think he's going to be tall. His Dad (our son) is 6'4".

pigletpilot,

I have always enjoyed following your posts. Another proud grandpa.
You do grow them tall in NZ. Fine looking young man.

There seems to be a movement by some of the political nut cases
out there that the world is to dangerous to have kids. According
to them, your fine country should now be under water. I call
this "Stinking thinking and bad science".

I say, bring all the kids you can into this great world and teach them
to ride scooters.

Sometimes those cute little guys are at their best while asleep.

Not a Grandpa - darn it

Recent stop at this dealer of more mundane 2 wheelers en route to a fun early spring ride on a gorgeous & rare sunny day here! My little 946 is like a sheep amongst the wolves... (hint, blue helmet & red seat).

And then a shot from near Seabeck about 15 minutes down the road...

Perfect match

First 70 degree day in Seattle in 2023. Also the warmest day since I picked up the ET4 around Halloween.

Meg the Little White Shark with wildflowers.

I like it. I took one with my Marisa a couple weeks ago.

And strolling through the hay field.

Vespa in Deadwood

In the midst of the western South Dakota 'Outback'...

September afternoon roadside break out in the middle of Nowhere, SD...

130 mile Badlands scooter ride to Wall Drug for lunch...

Coffee at my favorite 'hangout' the Pump House in Deadwood, South Dakota...

JBacklund,

Thanks, always great photos. You definitely can roam those wide
open spaces. I also admire the no State Income Tax in that fine State.
Keep your adventures coming.

Bob Copeland

I have to make new ones, Bob, these are all from last year, but I have some plans!

JBlacklund,

I was surprised at the good weather - still appreciate last years
photos. Being next door in Minnesota, I have been to South Dakota
on numerous occasions. My mother's entire side of the family
(100% all German immigrants to South Dakota) still own farms in
your fine State. I would visit that side of the family with my Uncle
and Dad and go pheasant hunting on their farms.

My hubby, trying to thaw out during a frigid ride to Tortilla Flat.

Scenic, South Dakota.....ironically named, obviously.

Murals on today's ride:

Heavenly!

Just waiting on my ignition to show up….

Time for break in…..

I'm still not allowed to like posts and really want to cause there's some great shots in here. So here's the new sticker for the new scootyscoot.

My. Lemmon (Tucson AZ)

That is a spectacular ride, and I highly recommend it for those visiting the Tucson area.

Heading home from picking up my new Piaggio BV-400! Not a fan of crossing west over the old span of the Tacoma Narrows even in my car, so prefer taking the ferries from Tacoma to Vashon to Southworth to get back home to Bremerton...

I concur. Sometimes I feel bad for not enjoying something so beautiful that is so close to me. Hope to have more photos/reports sooner rather than later.

Cheers

That is a really good looking scooter!

Off the beaten track.

Ride around Sydney beachside suburbs on my Piaggio Medley.

Here my new scoot.[/img]

Thanks VESPug! Your new Primavera is gorgeous, too! Congrats. I was debating between this BV400 and a 300GTS... Though I do prefer my 946 for the <45mph twisty roads, but this addition will be great for many other trips!

Hey, I think we met at South Sound Scooters when you were picking this up. I was inadvertently standing in the frame when Mark was trying to get your photo in front of the logo wall. I love the ferry routine on a scooter: first on, first off.

Enjoy your new ride!

Bob

Out running around local area.
Old road grader. We called 'em road scrapes. Put on display at the entrance to the county road maintenance area.
Then a city park with water feature and gazebo.

Needed to drop something off at fedex. Mid 70s after a week in Vegas? Yes please.

Bet those harleys are jealous!!
