Modern Vespa

Just re-certified last week.

No worries, good grab. That is one bright phonebooth!

Awesome, nice job!

Bionic

Sorry, we got off on some tangents...

Good on you!

I looked up the local Red Cross today and the only one in my area was downtown Pittsburgh.
I didn't want ride there through the football game traffic.

(Steelers lost )

Yeah, tough week for PA footballers, Them Lions had a tough one too.

Will post new tag soon.
Peace.

Attached to your bike or someone else's.

I was working a Police Motor "Rodeo" yesterday, and this is my California
Highway Patrol Buddy, Dan with his GTV/Sidecar rig! Mom and Aunt in tow..

I couldn't resist posting this great shot of one of California's finest!
What a fun coincidence that this was the new nationwide tag! Sadly, my
scooter wasn't there. so I guess this doesn't count, huh?

That is a super sweet rig...GTV is hot, torpedo sidecar is hot, cool cops are cool.
Good pic.

Let's give it a couple days and see if anyone else can come up with the tag. If there are no takers we will give you the nod.

No worries, I didn't expect it to count... was mostly sharing a cool photo.

I know there are some MV'ers out there with sidecar rigs! Bring it!

RobynS, no pic of ur first scoot w sidecar??? 8)

That was 12 years or so ago.... before the digital age....
I'm sure I have a picture somewhere, but don't know where it would be...

Argh!
1979 P200E with a California sidecar... sold it back to the guy I bought it from in Reno, if I remember correctly...
wonder where that is now?
8)

This has to be in two parts so that you can see the sidecar.





Here is another one from the same ride.

Your scooter with a TROLLEY, not a bus. Good hunting. I almost got my scooter with a Duck Tour Vehicle, but it drove away too fast.

Where is everyone in San Francisco?

Out of town right now but when I get back to Sac I think I know where I can one.

BUMP

By coincidence, I have a pic of my scooter with a trolly taken just a couple of weeks before the last tag.
Is that fair game in this case?

POST IT and let the game move on. I am looking forward to playing again since our South Florida riding season is just beginning

Your wish is my command...



Follow up coming soon....

Your scooter and a martial arts school...any style.

new to scooter tag,
heres my first!

Welcome Brody. You have found the best reason to drive around for hours.

here ya go......this is gonna be a hard one.....

A vehicular incline plane.......train/tram that moves up a hillside.....I happen to live in the town the the worlds steepest!

You must live very close to where I live.

Yep....not too far....I know you have one in the 'burgh...but our is.....

Looks like a fun funicular.

We rode some 100+ year old ones in Valparaiso, Chile when we went there on our honeymoon.

Welcome to the game brodyfrompa! I'm not sure how many people playing live close to anything like that so this should be interesting...... 8)

Like the color of the trees, nice pic!

Maybe this will help....

Sweet! Thanx for the list OPP! I don't think any are near me but I'll google them anyways. 8)

Thanks SIC!

I could add a secondary, I didn't want to hop in and stump ya'll...but I did think it would be a purdy sight!

I could always slide the pic with a covered bridge and my PX from my ride report? or would that be just as hard? should I have aimed low for a mail truck or something??? Naw

I would have to accept a pic of one of the other ones listed that are not in operation..as long as you can see the tracks would be fair....whatcha think?

I'm out of this one I live in South Florida. The only hills we have here are the garbage dumps.

Unlax everyone, this one will be tagged sooner than you think. 8)

BTW, I came across that list this morning and was surprised there was one in Bellevue, Pa. I live there and I didn't even know about it! (OK, it was a little before my time. )
On some warmer day I'll scout around and see if I can find any remains.

Duquesne Incline, Pitttsburgh, Pa.

Another tag coming up shortly.

VERY COOL TAG!
BIONIC

A major league baseball stadium has been done so...

A major league football stadium, then.
Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers in, um...Pittsburgh, Pa.

I managed to get this view from across the Ohio River not long after the Steelers wheezed by the Dolphins for a 1-point win today.
