I'm used to seeing the bridge from the East Bay, but whenever I get up close and personal with it I'm a little shocked that something so big is there. It's just weird. The scale of it never quite fully clicks in my mind.

Agreed. My 5th-grade class spent the weekend at Ft. Point as part of our Civil War education. We held night watch from the roof and it loomed, dwarfing the building. You feel its size from above or on it, but you truly get its scale from below.

'23 (cancelled our order thru the vespa store, it was going nowhere fast--a dealer a couple hours out had exactly what we wanted in stock) getting some break-in miles put on. We popped down to five guys then she did some more familiarization/confidence building in the (extremely unbusy) neighborhood way at the back near where it ends in water and very few people live after we got back. (working on getting her a scootypuff sr of her very own once she's got her endorsement)

Still on the fence about a top case. I bounce back and forth between that and the Big Box, which still accommodates a full-face but doesn't tremendously interrupt the lines. But does get really warm inside. Ugh. First world problems I suppose.

Southbound on Old Rockerville Road, Black Hills, South Dakota, USA...Yes, I'm parked on the wrong side of the road for the photo, but it was Sunday morning, and there was literally zero traffic at the time.

It's been a few years and wanted another Vespa. Picked up this 2023 from Vespa LA. I forgot how poor quality the factory top case is relative to its price. I may remove and resell and swap in a Shad top case instead and reuse my key from my SH59X from my bike. I have plans to mod, upgrade and slap on my version of the racing sixties livery and delete all the chrome accents.

I also had them install the rear crash bars, a top mount 3A USB port, factory windscreen and Koso heated grips. The grips take a while to heat up but can't beat the clean design of the integrated heat controller on the left grip.

My Pordoi mirrors showed up so I installed them. The right one has a tidge of interference with the throttle (it's ever so slightly sticky and wasn't before) so I need to find a solution there. Otherwise happy with them, i like the look a lot more. May set the black aside and grab the chrome ones though. We'll see.
