Have to give credit where credit is due: this picture was sent to me by my friend, neighbor and fellow Vespisti Robert P Thomas - via the Vintage Vespa Amsterdam group on Facebook -

Another great old photo via the Vintage Vespa Amsterdam Facebook page - from Lyons, France ---

VNS, that "Saturday Ride" photo is magnificent! I made my living as a photographer for 4 years and I couldn't do that.

What equipment do you shoot with?

Please, please tell me that isn't your phone and some Instagram filters.

You're too kind, tgraves! *blushing*

@seamus26: I mostly use a EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L mounted on Canon EOS 50D or my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80 (Micro Four Thirds system) with a G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 or a G 25mm f/1.7. I also sometimes carry a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 compact camera.

Went to pick up a few grocery items with the husband today. We parked our vehicles and went in. When we came back out, this Ural was parked right beside us. I like to think that the owner liked our vehicles so he wanted to show his off to us too. There was a nice willow green Indian opposite us next to the white SUV in the background. 4 fun rides all parked together!

From a ride out this past Sunday:

Not perhaps the scooter pic of the day, but anyway, here's a pic of my 2006 Ducati 999 S from yesterdays ride out. Planning to go there with my Vespa as well this weekend, just to catch the autumn colors before they're gone. Sorry for off topic... 8)

A view form the house in Ohio, The GTS 250 is a blast in the country roads of Eastern Ohio, The foot hills of the Apalachain Mountain range.

That's a lovely looking 250 you have

My 2014 GTS.

In the "old town" area of Milan, Italy, Starbucks has a newish store which I believe they needed to make very un-Starbucks-like in order to even get permission to open. My Milan friends had not yet had the pleasure of checking it out, and so we decided to have a quick visit while doing the touristy things. We stood in line for about 10 minutes just to get inside of the rather huge place which was dominated by an industrial-sized roaster and packaging system in the center of the room which spanned both floors.

The surprising part..?
Coming through the entrance and seeing this cutie.
The plaque explains that the artwork was done by Kyler Martz to celebrate the opening of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery of Milan.

Just curious, do you only drink coffee when it's dark outside? 8)

Garelli Capri 125 Super

Getting ready for cold weather riding, first year with Tucano Urbano gear: handlebar muffs and a Termoscud.

^^^ Got some good tires on there for winter riding, I see. Good man, keep it safe (as possible).

No. Only ride scooters when it's dark outside.

Touring 300, that's an interesting avatar for someone in Cyprus. What's your connection to New Zealand?

Isn't JP using the same photo as his avatar??

My new 150.
