Modern Vespa

Everything's world famous if you just define "fame" low enough. It is a pretty legit place, though. It was redone and is now a retro swanky dive.

Respectfully, wrong. Here's why. The USofA was invented in Philadelphia, ergo anything we say or do is correct and everyone else needs to get on board!

Hoagies
Wooder
Iggles
Damara (Philly for tomorrow)
Etc etc.

Giggles

please tanslate Wooder and Iggles my mind goes to NSFW places haha

Water and Eagles!

Grinder

Yo, Friday! What about the cheese steak?! Thought they were king over there. I've got a steak and hoagie joint down the street from me. The owner is a transplant from Philly. Looks like a straight up hit man with his Judas Priest glasses, bald head and leather briefcase 😎. Drop one! Yeah, we got your food on the West Side too.😉

The storage crew got a ride in.

The P never ever disappoints. And the shitbox is back to her seasonal plate.

Teasing me with the Cushman sticker. 👍

I hear people like cheese steaks, personally not my thing. Judas Priest glasses, bald head and leather briefcase…. Sounds like an ex girlfriend I had years ago's Dad….

Rob Halford wrote a song about Grinders. It's called Grinder.

Quite the lungs on Rob. He's still singing after all these years, amazing.

Although Hoagie-Grinder-Po Boy-Subs and Cheese Steaks are delicious, my fav is pastrami on rye with Swiss cheese, mustard and pickle! Katz's Deli has never disappointed.

Sorry off topic, I get too excited talking about good food.😜

Got out for a birthday ride today. What a glorious day in New England. I was low on pre-mix so I kept it close to home and didn't stop for taking any pix. But here we were a few days ago in the next town over: an artsy joint called Montague, Mass. Glad the riding season is beginning again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!!!

Thanks, two-wheelin' brother!

It's Easter here and family had a big feast, lamb on a spit over charcoal w/ all the fixings was great! Afterwards most ppl headed for a nice nap.

But this is my last day here on the island and weather yesterday was cold, windy and a little rain but today was warm & sunny. My cue to take my last ride here that I had planned for yesterday, while others are snoozing.

All in all, it was a great way to cap my week's vacation!

Wow great views! And amazing place. Makes me wanna get out for a ride!

Made it to the Oregon 100 in the Eugene area this last Saturday.

It dumped the entire day, and it was a blast! Instead of the trials style, it was a group ride - a big scooter convoy.

Nobody went down, which was awesome.
Everybody got wet, which was awesome too!

I got to meet a couple of MVers too!

Looks like a ton of fun!

Great pics thanks!

Great photos! and thank you Chris for the oil top off!!

No idea who this guy is, or when this was taken, but he definitely knows how to take a corner

I like the Philly word, jawn. Seems like you can use that noun for many things.

I'm not much closer to figuring out the source or location, but I at least found the full image.

That dude on the Lammy is not slouch through the corner, either, not to mention the fact that they'd probably be decorating the underside of that Fiat if one of them went down.

Such a cool shot!

Ha, love the old pics.

Here's another favorite.

Something just occurred to me...either someone had a really good telephoto lens, or those two scooters had to go to either side of the photographer.


Loads of skill and/or danger for everyone involved.

Or photographer is in (or on) on a vehicle in front of the riders.

But yeah, any way you slice it, great shot.

Because "facing backwards while riding cupcake through a serious leaning turn" is so much safer!

European Roundabouts!

I finally got out for an actual ride today. 25 miles of back roads through the Vermont countryside.

The 200 engine ran as usual in spite of the recent troubles with the autolube. I decided to live dangerously and not bother checking the piston.

What really stood out was how much better it rides with new shocks and shock buffers. That squirmy feeling like the bike was going to slide out from under me is completely gone.

Somewhere along the route I hit 54 on the GPS. Not that it's a high speed, but that it felt completely stable and effortless on winding roads with a speed limit of 40. I don't even know when it happened. Phone was in my pocket and not looking at the speedo. I was just riding along in an easy going way. In the past, 50+ was a focused track bike time trial because the bike handled so poorly.

Yay!

Looks like a perfect riding day. Great pic!

Got out before the rains come back for another 7 days in a row. Feels like I live in a rain forest of late.

Starting to get a little out of town. Just rebuilt this with a new crank and bearings, it had been off the road for 20 years.

Welcome to the party!

I feel so lucky to be able to hop on the rally after work and head for the hills ! And I always match the double yellows

Gorgeous bike there... but what happened to your glove-box door?

The lock broke and I have to order a new one. Just hasn't been a priority

That dark yellow really pops on your Rally, not the usual color we see on them. Is it original? Good job regardless if it's not.

I was feeling sorry for my scruffy old AllState w/ all my attention here lately on my Supers, so I rolled it down to the garage from shed out back, added a liter of fresh gas after running it dry when put away, and it fired up after 3 or 4 kicks 😋.

A nice ride in the sunshine seemed in order so off we roared and it pulled so strong when I hit second gear headed uphill
