Modern Vespa

It's called AmeriVespa, everyone is welcome. It
was held in San Jose this year. 8)

Man, you guys are lame, and definitely like to rain on a girls parade. This idea is not "Amerivespa part 2". At AV you have no idea if you know the people around you or not.

I'm talking about a unscheduled get drunk and hang out kinda vacation with no schedule, just a big block party. We could wear nametags with our screennames and avatars on them! We would know everyone there, we'd just have to figure out who's who.

I really like the idea of getting like 6 groups starting from 6 different points of the coast and riding in snowball style picking up new riders as they pass.

Too late! We met in May in the Greek Islands. Too bad for you if you missed it-- 8)

false. In the last 5 years of operation, no one has ever talke about (or actually executed) an MV meet-up.

Ferreals.

I'll throw in my vote for meeting place. How about the live music capitol of the world: Austin, TX!

It will surely have something for all to do and I know a few places that everyone would like. Just a thought...

Bermuda.

That's about half way to anywhere if you're considering USA, Canada, and Western Europe. Lots of scooters.

False?! Whachoo talkin' about? And there's a 2010 Greek Island reunion in the works already! https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic48071.1

That works.

Oh come on. If we get together let's do it in style...how about Sardinia? You will forget all about those greek isles after coming here..and I can hook all of us up. Second choice.....a Lake Superior getaway? Never mind, the snow would never melt long enough for a nice ride. Nice Summer!

Yes, Bermuda! Fantastic idea.

I'll be there for a week starting tomorrow. I can scope out locations

What mundane places. No one has even mentioned the real center of the Vespa Universe:

PONTEDERA

There - I did.

Then see Tuscany, Cinque Terre, and more.

Certainly there are some beautiful rides along the St. Lawrence waterway? Old Quebec city is beautiful, and Toronto is clean and modern.
Of course, some of the black flies are as large as an LX150, so Alberta is out!
New York State has some gorgeous scenery up in the Hudson Valley and Adirondaks too.

On the contrary - The Greek Islands Rally was organized by MVers and first posted to the world here as an invitation to all.

Initial Proposal in Mar 2008

Formal Announcement on 28 Jun 2008

Unless it doesn't qualify as a meet-up. Even so, Team MV had a grand time, and there will be more fun to come.

I'm so in if there's an AmeriVespa in NYC! Riding the island (and Brooklyn, to be fair) is one of my top scooter "to-dos" before I die.

Sounds like a plan. The NYSC does the Block Party every year, and there's a lot of local clubs, and a huge amount of scooter riders, so it can definitely happen. Those "interesting challenges" would make things fun.

It way too hot, how about Huntington Beach, CA
My home town. Or we could divid it up into 8 groups
say California could be one group, Arizona and Nevada
and Colorado could be another group and so on.

Drew has you both, right there.

Years ago, I went to a Mini (little British car) meet, that joined the westies with the easties, including Canada. The organizer drew an "X" from the previous year's attendance list's NE, NW, SE and SW-most travelers. The "X" was about 11 miles from Grand Junction, NE.

Little late to the party here, but.....

Did not the 2 MV workshops count as a meet-up? I attended the one in Richmond and it was just as much about riding and socializing as it was about fix-its and put-rights.

Also, there was the MV ride at Deals Gap, also in summer of '07 that Surfan organized. Just sayin'

How about a caribbean cruise?

london, ontario it is. party at the Wagon Wheel. two of us get a room, and when no one is looking we'll all pile in.

I'd love to do a one or two week camping tour along the West Coast of the U.S. Problem would be shipping my scooter there. Guess I'd have to rent from somewhere.

Ya know, it would be neat to do a sort of relay tour starting somewhere in Southern California, going up the entire West Coast, along the Canadian border, down the East Coast and back to Southern California along the Gulf Coast. MVers could jump in at any of the meeting points along the way and go as far as they wished. You'd pick up and lose riders all along the way. That might be a pretty cool rally! Start in early June and end sometime in the fall.

How long do you think a tour like that would take?
