No, that footage was all from earlier rides. The "whoopsie" was from a video of a late April ride where I dumped the Himalayan. A wonderful opportunity for personal growth!
whoops, missed that vid

Took the Stella out yesterday. Nearly 100 miles without a blip.

I've been thinking of selling her and buying a new Sprint 150, but I don't even know now. Maybe I'll just ride her into the sunset.

Took a similar ride Saturday on the Aprilia 50. About 70 miles. It was a beautiful morning.

I'm posting this video I made because one of the sections has a montage of my Vespa GTS images. Perhaps you'll find them interesting.

A great video. You could try producing a counterpoint video entitled '5 things I DISLIKE about the Vespa 250', but I don't think you'd find enough reasons.

I'll think about that idea. I'm sure there's something I don't like.

After allowing my 2006 Vespa GTS 250 to languish in the garage waiting for my lazy ass to install a new front brake caliper and battery we finally went for a ride on a cold winter day.

It's love all over again.

I was checking out your website. http://vespalx150.blogspot.com/2007/09/vespa-photographs.html

Your banner photograph is of my great grandfather's farm. He built the house and the old barn. He sold the farm to the Beiler family many decades ago. In the last year the Beiler family has experienced a couple tragic farm accidents. My parents live a 1/4 mile down the road.

Small world. I've made many photos of that farm over the past 30 years. Most of them sitting somewhere in Penn State's archives. When I'm heading to breakfast in Millheim I'll turn there to get on Manor Road and wind my way along between RT192 and RT45 on those quiet lanes.

I read about the Beiler silo accidents. Very sad. I spent most of my career in ag sciences and farm safety issues around silos and asphyxiation were almost constant. That and ROPS for tractors. And shut off the engine before pulling corn stuck in your corn picker or combine.

Penns Valley is a beautiful area.
