SEARCH RESULTS FOR 'VESPA ADVENTURES'

(SHOWING RESULTS 121 - 130 OF 179)

Some people were asking me to post a Google map of my trip so here it is :) It is pretty accurate, just we did some portions of the trip multiple times, and its not 100% in big cities. Google doesn't allow to have more points on the map and I just can't remember exactly what streets we took in big cities :) Also I didn't have enough point to mark toads that we took in Mexico

DAY 15: Today we rode for 456km... We were planning to ride more than that, but than we decided to quickly drive though the Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is beautiful and we ended up spending the whole day there. Tomorrow we will try to make it home, but we will need to ride for about 850km... Wish us luck :)

This is what I call a close encounter with a wild buffalo! Its a bit scary because with a bike you don't really have anywhere to hide if he doesn't like you :)

2010-09-13 07:19 Tracy B!: best pictures from the trip I think!! Love the 2nd one & the last one (oh and the group buffalo pic too)!!!

DAY 14: Today we rode for 588km... Well, after 14,000km it finally happened... Today I had my first breakdown. I'm not sure how it happened, probably a rock hit it or something, but while going 130 km/h, my scooter started to smoke. I stopped right away and noticed that my oil filter was almost cracked in half and I lost all my oil :( I had to get it towed and luckily it was fixed :) Just a new oil filter and and some oil and I was good to go. We lost lots of time today but still managed to put on some good driving numbers :)

2010-09-12 21:45 Tracy B!: Just glad that rock-or-whatever hit your oil filter and not you--that coulda hurt something terrible!!! All-in-all it worked out fine in the end, chalk it up as a great travel story ;)

DAY 13: Today we rode for 563km... Went through three states today, Nevada, Arizona, now we are in Utah. We are on our way home :) Lots of high speed driving today, in Utah they have 80 miles/h speed limit.

Driving through Arizona was very hot, my gauge showed +40C, especially hot when you are wearing a full face helmet and an armored jacket.

DAY 11: Today we rode for 479km... Mexico! This morning we left Tracy's car in San Diego and crossed the border to Mexico on my Vespa. It was a fun ride and interesting experience! On our way out through the border it only took us 5min to get out, because we were on my bike we just passed all the cars in the lineup and went straight to the front, probably saved us 2 - 3 hours of waiting time :)

This is very cool, just before this trip I ordered windscreen and front rack for my Vespa from Motorsport Scooters online and today I visited them in person and bought a side stand for my scooter :) Thank you for the t-shirt guys, and the side stand works great so far!

2010-09-10 10:22 Sergei Belski: Thank you very much Fredrik! Vespa is an easy subject to photograph! For sure send me a link if you will start your blog, I love looking at other people Vespa blogs!
2010-09-09 01:56 Fredrik: Hi, Just want to say how impressed I am. You are such a gifted photographer. I found your blog searching for cool Vespa pics. I just bought a black Vespa S 50 today and can't wait to take it on a ride. And photograph it. I'm also a photographer actually. I see you use the 70-200mm often. It's a great lens! Keep up the good work! I think I'm starting on a Vespa blog when the beauty arrives... Best regards, Fredrik Ystad, Sweden

DAY 10: Today we rode for 89km... and walked for about the same distance :) Our last day in San Diego. We spent most of our day at the San Diego Zoo... great place, but so much walking! After the zoo we went for a swim and a nice Vespa ride :)

When we came back to our hotel, my scooter looked very lonely in the parking lot so we took it out for a ride :) We visited a vey cool spot to view the sunset on Sunset Cliffs Blvd and went back to SeaWorld for a night show :)

2010-09-08 21:09 Sergei Belski: We were thinking about you Maple when we saw the penguins :)
2010-09-08 05:31 Maple: LOVE THE PENGUIN SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAY 8: Today we rode for 337km... Palms!! My scooter made it to see some palms! We got to LA quickly and visited famous Venice beach. After hanging out there for a while we decided to drive to San Diego, it was lots of slow driving, we drove for a long time but didn't make it many kilometres. We took a smaller road and went through all the coastal places like Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, etc. Didn't have many places to stop and take photos of my scooter and probably will not take many today :( We are in San Diego now, heading out to see SeaWorld :)

2012-01-04 15:25 Sergei Belski: Thank you! Yes I know .. unfortunately I didn't have much time :( The whole trip basically was to go to California but I thought it would be nice to at least stop in Mexico to say I made it there :)
2012-01-04 09:25 Damaso Ruix: Nice trip!!! and next time come to the real Mexico, I was born in Tijuana and I can tell you that is not "Mexico" but a mix of all good and bad. Great and Super pictures!!! I hope to see you next time around!
