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.

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.

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.
