Unfortunately I think I am so far from their brand position that I am about thirty years too late. They seem to focus on young, hip, stylish urbanites who happen to ride a Vespa. I’m more of a Vespa who has a human sort of guy….

Yes, the first picture should have a dog in it…

I’ll check them out.

It’s certainly a much more accurate description than the, (I’m tired of hearing,) over used phrase, “I’m passionate about …”

Your pictures are always beautiful and I think you should approach Vespa and be their official photographer! Happy almost new Year!

you’d better get some of those electric socks. they should make your winter rides more enjoyable.

I also have an obsession with taking photos. I always have a real camera with me. Even though I have an iPhone with me all the time, I don’t think of it as a camera

I’m not sure if you are obsessed or not but your first photo seems to be “missing” an important element

They do have heated socks and insoles. The ones with lithium-ion batteries supposedly just hang on your boots. I know several snow sport enthusiasts who love them.
