On September 27th Piaggio Benelux organizes a special rally for Piaggio MP3 riders only.
Of course I look foreward to that because it wiil be a very nice rally and we hope to see about 100 MP3's there.
But this is not the reason for the countdown.

We are also going to launch the "Piaggio MP3 Club Nederland" there.
So from the 27th on The Netherlands will have an official MP3 club and I will be their President

We have been preparing this for a few months now and we hope to have a lot of members after the 27th.
The Club will be organizing at least 2 rally's a year, we will have our own website with a forum for members only and there will be more. I will give the link after the 27th so you can have a look there also.
We will be looking for contact with other MP3 clubs in Europe as well
Piaggio is very anthousiastic about all this and offered to help us. They already make a flyer for us to give to all the rally participants.

I am realy looking foreward to this so I am counting down the days till the 27th.

Great pictures.

What is the story with the yellow MP3 with reflective tape and the light sticking up? It seems to have a lot going on in the dash area.

We started in a place called Beneden-Leeuwen, we had lunch in a place called Woudrichem and the finnish was in Leersum.
The route took us over scenic roads and dikes.
This was all in the center of Holland

We had 9 in one spot in Chattanooga last June. If you would have come it would have been 10. Chattanooga is much closer to you than Ocean City.

Scooters are much more common transportation in Europe. I have talked to several people who commented on how many MP3s they saw on the streets of Paris. They probably are getting a huge sales boost with the wider stance of the LT allowing people to get around challenging requirements for a motorcycle license. In battery only mode the hybred is allowed into some city areas that do not allow combustion engines. That may justify the extra cost for many.

I have seen a total or 3 MP3s on the road that I did not make specific plans ahead of time to meet. Two of those were on the ride with the group from Chattanooga.
