Modern Vespa

Brrrr! That looks cold Terry!!!

Yah it is, usually much milder here now - this is like January or February Was gonna scoot up for the mail again, I'm expecting lock & key in the post from Mr Bustedbot who got it fixed along w/ his by the generous & talented Mr phOngvu. Thank you both for fixing this final annoying problem with my wonderful unpainted Super!

But sorry, it's a big NOPE!


because it snowed again last night and only an old fool or a young smartass....

real pretty though

Nice ride out today. Anlas winter tyres work well in the snow if anyone wondering what to use.I don't know if available Stateside.

That's good to know, fortunately only for reference these days. I rode on Heidenau K58S'es as my snow tire of choice for years back when I lived in Chicago. They're also a great year-round tire, but they wear pretty fast in the summer.

Throwback to May 2017. On the road to wild camping site. Sorry for LML 4 stroke.

haha looks soo cozy!

My '64 Allstate a few years ago....

A bonus year end scooting because of the warm weather. I think the little nut on one of my gear cables is stripped because it keeps coming loose, but no matter. I want to take the motor out to do some work too it over the winter anyway.

^^^Oooh, I like that scene. Loving the smallie too.

Taken a few weeks ago @ Cal. I may or may not have had to lie on the ground of a very crowded campus to get this angle!

Worth it. Great shot.

Great previous shots by others, up above.

I exercised one of my bikes today at a surprising 51 degrees this PM for my first ride in a couple months. Not too cold here for early January.

A quick 10 mile run, from my country road to downtown and back.

A place where supposedly everyone goes… but maybe only during Summertime?

The plateau! That's a long ride.

What happened to the mural post battle, people?!

Shepard Fairy. Artist behind Obey, Obama's Hope sticker, Andre the Giant Has a Posse, etc, etc, ca 2013.

We're still frozen over here, must be wonderful to be able to ride ear round…. I'd miss the snow though. Give it a month or 2, we've got a billion murals here

I wasn't aware there was a battle, but now that I know...

^^^^Good to see the smallie get out for a ride.

Good to have a dry day to road the GTS properly after doing belt rollers etc a couple of weeks ago before head on a 100 trip to the Dragon Rally in Snowdonia at the weekend.

Quick shot with the skyline while I was out walking down the main jet this afternoon.

Ready and packed for the Dragon Rally up in Snowdonia about 300 mile round trip.

I like the green, it's kind of like Kawasaki green. Looks like you are expecting to get wet.

Living in Wales it's not unusual to have rain.
Must be as many names for different types of rain in Welsh as Inuits have for snow. 😊

Nice sunny weather on a Saturday and we're getting hungry... What to do?


Got me a DOUBLE stacker, fries & a Coke.

Then off to the park...

I think we are in compliance....

Local sports event we enjoyed before heading for home the slow way.
I just love to deep snoop my neighborhood by scooter!

There's lots of interesting graffiti in my hood, but I have to move fast, because the places that get the good tagging also tend to get torn down shortly thereafter.

For example this place was bulldozed like a week or so ago, probably now on its way to becoming condos.

Maybe you can find a local to tag your scooter.

Eventually it's going to get the full bodywork adventure, but not quite yet.

My former P200 out in the Wisconsin countryside

I've been looking forward to this post, 36° at home and gonna hit 63° here today. And I got my sweet P going with no serious hassle after checking the plug and a small squirt of gas down carb throat.

So time for a quick test ride 6 blocks down to the square for some chow from my favorite gyro shop, they know me well.

The old smallie w/ all the stickers was a little more challenging, after I got it going it dies on the test ride 3 blocks from the shop. I finally discovered the primary lead had slipped off the coil spade so no spark, the connector was pretty loose. So I rolled back to the shop, squeezed the spade connector a bit and now it stays tight on the coil, runs like a champ.

That red PK pos however ... we still got some wrestling to do it seems.


Tinkering

It's a runner!

Down to the square

Two classic gyros, please

And the hot rod smallie has just officially left the building

Aw, I wish I was in Greece. It's miserable right now in Cascadia.

Other day was wicked nice yet again here in the birthplace of America… this winter has been ridiculously warm. So I got out again for a little ride and stopped by Benedict Arnold's old house!


Mt. Pleasant Mansion. Philadelphia, PA circa 1761.

I will have to post a pic of the bar that Benedict Arnold sold out our country sitting at.
Here is a pic of the burning of Benedict Arnold, a annual reenactment every year in New London Connecticut. Notice he's double faced.

That would be a rough to not only go your last days of life to be know as a traitor, but literally for the rest of time (or at least the rest of time in US history)! No doubt Judas will never, ever, ever live his title down as well.

Not only Vespa have left the house

But only Vespa's were able to *stay* away from the house!

I would say that only Vespa was able to return to the house... unaided.

Looks to me like a Vespa has pushed a Lammy out of the house!

So that counts double?

on that picture Vespa pushes Lammy to her garage.

Out running errands on the GL


ICM restaurant

Looks good with its legs stretched!
