Modern Vespa

I've got two, but I'll let you ride on the back as long as you promise to hug real tight.

Moving out to the Denver(ish) area when I retire from the AF in a couple years. Have friends in Box Elder....might could do a lil jont.

JBlacklund,

Dragon Red - Oh Yah!

Came across this in Call of Duty

Of course Enzo is the first one at work !

Popped down to Annapolis on a couple errands before dinner with the ladies.

My new vanity tag arrived. Tee hee.

Totally dig the tag!

1981 P150X after respraying. Still waiting for glove box and side covers.

In Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland at VWD's

What a great pic

Yes, indeed...it is a FINE picture!

Dido, what a most excellent photo. The scooter world takes you to these amazing vestas.

From the middle of nowhere...

Love this pic! Good one!

My father and I cruising around NYC

What map? What call of duty?

Crap weather today. Should be sunny most of the weekend though, maybe i'll pop down to DC on Sunday and get a few shots....

Black Tie gala at the Italian Embassy tomorrow night, won't be riding there though.

NYC got crap weather for the next week. It's a bummer

It was MW2 multiplayer. Can't remember the map name but it looks like a Dutch town! When I am on it next I will try and find it again.

The new call of duty mw2 remake?

The map was Kunstenaar District.

Finished with the full restoration of a friend's PX 200. He's going to Italy next month so we went for a full 'Touring' setup...

One more....

Tasty, tasty, tasty!

I LOOOOOOOVE PX200s !!

SaFis,

Great restoration. My favorite color. Good riding in Italia. I expect you will car ferry from Corfu to Brindisi. Took that route myself to visit your fine country.

Just ordered a chin mount for m'gopro, so I can get some video of the 23 GTS not having wobble (presumably the overhauled front suspension has much to do with that) but in the meantime here's a shot from this morning's quick jont to the neighborhood grocer for a couple things.

I freakin love this bike...

A few scooter photos that I've taken recently.

I was in Italy last month. Oh, the excitement seeing so many scooters all over EVERYWHERE! But not just in Italy...in Greece, Turkiye, France, Spain, and on the isle of Gibraltar. I was in HEAVEN! That's why I'm back on Modern Vespa...looks like I'm onboard to pick up another scoot sometime this summer/fall. Most likely a GTS 300 Super.

Here's a few from the Vespa Museum in Rome on via Cavour.

Love Italia. The Streets of Napoli back in my day.

Ercolano was awash with teens on 50cc freedom machines, hanging out on the roundabout on Corso Italia in front of the Euroesse. I had a big smile at that moment, knowing it was a world away from my childhood/teenage years, yet so very similar in that aspect, taking me back to dad's Honda Spree that I entirely commandeered about 3 months after my 14th birthday (iowa winters were a bit unfriendly toward 2-wheel travel) and never looked back

You should be ashamed of yourself posting this stuff, how in the world am I to get any work done!!

I'd apologize but I am entirely not sorry.

I have no idea if they were for sale because I was forbidden from going inside as we had an appointment to keep and she knew I could turn that vacation REALLY expensive *REALLY* quickly.

I'm sure they do have some for sale though.

I should go back.

That's a bummer!

update.

she has been informed that the museum is in fact free of charge entirely for admission.

she has changed her choon about entry.

granted our triumphant return to Rome is more than a year off yet, but....stay tuned?

or you know....just come back in October 2024 and we'll have some updates.

Popped out to the UPS store to send a thingy..

Didn't take much convincing.

Road around with my pops yesterday. Also my brother took delivery of his Primavera 150 red edition.

Sadragna,

Great photo. Those two Vespa's side by side just scream adventure. You are tough cookies riding in NYC. When returning from Europe, I picked up a new MG Midget that I had shipped to Queens. I decided to drive into New York. After almost bottoming out the MG on bridge expansion plates, I promptly turned around and got the heck out of there.

Ride safe.
