It’s been cold and getting colder. By morning the temperature will be in the single digits. Not the best news for riding a Vespa but still within the range of riding if the snow holds off. The past couple days the scooter has sat in the garage due to ice one day and the need to haul some things in the van the next. Braving the elements was focused on walking the dog. Photographing this tree reminded me to think about a Christmas tree for home.
This evening I had a few errands to run and decided to exercise the scooter. The roads were dry though with the thermometer descending below 20 degrees it was cold and the chance of ice is ever present. The desire to ride is strong. Why else would anyone venture out into this?
Christmas isn’t far off now though I’ve not really caught the spirit. Riding didn’t jumpstart it either.
My decision to not use the electric gloves was a poor one and the resultant misery clouded any jolly thoughts.
Still, it was good to get out into the world on the Vespa.
There’s something about a tree silhouetted against a lighter colored sky that I like…..
We did a real Christmas tree last year, methinks this year we’re back to the fake one.
Just think how large a tree you could bring home if that Vespa had a sidecar attached….

Hi Steve ,
Great pic of the tree!
I too have not yet got the Xmas bug ….. Been too busy to let the feeling of Christmas flow through me.
During the festive season I plan on having a day out with a Eastern Europe pal (work mate) , he’s got a T5 vespa , so it’s should make for a nice trip .
All the best
Len
Charlie6: I have a rig put together where I can drag a 20 foot tree home with the Vespa. I just need to get a house with 21 foot ceilings.
Len: I hope you find the Christmas spirit out there on your ride. I’m still working at it…
