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.

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.

A beautifully restored Vespa 50. Every detail was perfect.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
