I see them constantly everywhere as I explore on foot. More than any place I have been in Canada, the US, France, Spain, or even Italy. In Italy I have seen many vintage Vespas, but here it's all modern Vespas, everywhere. It's amazing. Positive

I saw quite a few GTSs in Belgium and Germany. At least enough to keep my thrill levels up. It doesn't take much for us, does it? Good to see you around, David!

Good to see you around, David!

Good to see you as well.

I no longer own a Vespa. I work from home so no commuting. More infrequent rides felt more risky, particularly with the very heavy traffic in Toronto. Now my love of two-wheeled adventures is fulfilled by my amazing Brompton. I still love Vespas and they speak to me whenever I see them, seeing so many in Amsterdam I had to share.
