I got up yesterday morning and was faced with a weather forecast that said 45 degrees F (good)and a chance of rain shower (not so good). After stepping out the front door to test the air I decided I just had to take a ride. So off I go towards the local Sheetz store to put air in my tires. By the time I got there and the tires were warm I was up to the right pressures. The only other errands I had to run was a trip to the post office and then to Lowe’s to pick up a toilet tank replacement kit—all that stuff inside the tank that makes it flush so nicely. But I digress…..
The Vespa is just fun to ride anywhere. Errands become adventures and after having this scooter for almost 6 months it as just as fun as the day I drove it from the dealer. I decided to take a short jaunt around some of the farms here and made this photograph while riding the farm lanes. The Vespa is not a dirt bike but does fine on the dirt and gravel if you don’t have to drive like you’re in a motocross race. And you can get knobby tires but that would just be wrong.
Last stop of the day was at a new Italian gourmet store with takeout food. Just another stop on the growing list of scooter destinations.
