Modern Vespa

oops that Rally in that color is on my bucket list, love it

Bella in the Art Deco capital in New Zealand; Napier which was destroyed in an earthquake in 1931 and largely rebuilt in the Art Deco style. This is the Rothmans Building, now home to a winery.

I haven't said this, but HOT DAMN do I LOVE that bike.

all rough and tumble makes me smile like a moron because all mine are the same. it pleases me to no end that you've left it that way.

all my junk is hammered and it's nice to know that there's somebody else that shares it with me.

dearest mr owens, you make me incredibly jealous.

that is all.

I send my kindest regards to you and yours. may they be well and you all prosper.

dutifully,

Resting after a first commute.

Every time I see Patrick's Rally I get the scooter envy. Man, that is a thing of OG beauty.

Awww, thanks. I may paint it one day, but not soon. I did a couple of full strip downs/paintings....sheesh...20 years ago. Once they were back together and all pretty I just sorta lost interest in them.

My P215 at a reservoir in the Sierras during the Tiny Mountain Ride from Clovis in June 2021.

My Allstate on the pier at Avila Beach during Rides of March 2022.

That thing is CLEAN. I love it.

Photo Op Two-fer for me today.

Man that fruit's juicy.

Lookin' sharp. Nice backdrop, too.

Monumental.

North Fork bridge

Have you tried black rims for this one? Would look awesome all murdered out with just the red in the center like it currently has.

I call this series "Old Vespas in Rusty Places"

You know, I haven't, but that would look good. I'm going to do it.

I like it. I need to go visit and photograph my scoots in front of some of the abandoned Nashville factories and warehouses before they all get torn down or turned into lofts.

One of my favorite pics ... Yancy on his P in Central Cal.

Cut rate closed? Used to buy crates there.

Monday morning ride thru Southern Wisconsin rural roads.

Things you don't see everyday in NE GA. A camel.

What a pic!

Hey Eric,
I'm interested in your luggage box, it looks cool. What is it and how is it mounted? It would be nice to have extra storage on my Allstate, the rack on it is pretty useless.

Thanks, I'll send you some pics.

Kind a like a Dresden 1983-ish feel.

Box is just a pine gift box from a vendor. 16x10x5. I cut a 7" piece of aluminum L and drilled two holes. I use that under the buddy rack, with the brass bolts through the bottom of the box. I've seen similar cheap wood boxes at Target in the craft section. I did three coats of a stain, and three coats of oil urethane. I don't put a ton of weight into it, but it holds my rain gear, a flat cap, a flask and a few tools wrapped in bar towels. All of the hardware is brass, except for the stainless washers and the aluminum bar. Figured it would all age well together.

Pic is from last summer. I rode out to the big city, and once I got there I got stopped at a train crossing. It was close to 100 degrees out, so I hopped off my PX210 and took refuge in some shade. In the meantime some methhead pushed his shopping cart in the path of the locomotive. All his aluminum beer cans went EVERYWHERE in a loud cacophony. Because the shopping cart got ran over, the whole train had to stop and investigate what happened...which took an extra 10 minutes of waiting around for the train to pass.

WHAT?? No pics?

It sounds like this all happened slowly enough we should be demanding *video*!

Russell, Ga sunset.

Tucson, Arizona

Middle of nowhere Northern California

Hoping to contribute to this thread soon with some pics of some nice rides around the Adirondacks and Greens.

Took out my -68 Primavera from my shed in october last year and began working on it.


In january it was actually in my house, living room to be specific.


After finishing touches it was moved back in the shed to wait for spring.


After the snow melted, it was time to take it for a spin. First time on the road since -95 possibly.

One year ago. My P150X with nice Golf mk.I
Ukraine, Kyiv.

I took B62 around my neighborhood.
