Your comment about “…generally good people..” seems to imply you’ve had some experiences! Details, details…

I too loved the first photo! And I have also had some great moto-blogger meet-ups this year that confirm we are generally good people, despite our many differences. Great post and photos!

Steve, when Ken and Bill ride up, I’ll ride down, that’s for certain!

In reply to Steve Williams. I wondered what that red stuff was... luck indeed.

That picture happened organically. Didn’t realize the accident potential until later. The red by Paul’s head that seems like blood is his cup from his Thermos.

Luck always beats skill when it comes to photos…

In reply to BWB (amateriat).

Ahhh, Vienna. Never made it further into Austria than Salzburg. Always wanted to visit Vienna. Wouldn’t mind touring Europe on a Vespa for a few months. Dreams….

There will be more Moto Hangs next season. Let me know if you’re heading this way.

All machines break down. Some sooner than others. I’ve had to change head gaskets on two vehicles — car and truck. The cost ran into the thousands. I know Vespa riders with terrible mechanical nightmares, and others who never have a problem. It’s part of the Vespa life I guess. For me, the advantages far outweigh any disadvantages — real or imagined.

The staged accident cracked me up, Steve. A very iconic meet-up, and (as usual) well written and set in scene.

As I read (and write) this, I, along with Le Wife, just completed two weeks in Vienna – where I’ve seen more Vespas, among other PTWs, than anyplace I’ve ever been. Makes me homesick for my Vespa back in NJ, but otherwise we’re both having fun.

Wish I could’ve made Moto Hang, but weather that day put a serious damper on things. Better luck next year (and a good deal earlier for me, as well). But, I’ll be back in the states come the 24th, and, weather permitting, I”m planning to give Melody a gentle-but-thorough shaking-out after her month-long hiatus, and hope to be coming your way: stay tuned.

Wonderful read from you as usual, but very bummed to hear of David’s GTS doing the self-destruct thingon his way home. He has done loads with that bike (as did the previous owner, it sounds, but it still sounds too soon.
