DAY 7: Today we rode for 547km... We drove a good distance today and right now we are just a little less than an hour away from LA.

When you see something nice sometimes it is not very easy to capture it on camera. Trying to add a scooter in the right place so that the photo would still look good can be pretty hard. If you manage to do that, you may have to deal with a bunch of tourists who would also like to take a photo of the same beautiful place :)

Driving in the fog is not very fun, have to clean my visor all the time and can't really see all the beautiful scenery around us. Still had a great ride on all the twisty roads :)

DAY 6: Today we rode for 183km... We basically spent most of our day browsing around. Unfortunately we didn't get to see Alcatraz, everything was booked for the next couple of days :( Its amazing how many scooters are in San Francisco, especially Vespas! I drove around the city trying to take some photos to show how steep the roads are but I couldn't do it. I just couldn't park my scooter without risking it falling over. I don't know how people park here :)

On our way out of San Francisco it was very cold and very foggy. I don't know how they do it... I'm cold wearing two sweaters and these guys are surfing, where do they think they are, Hawaii?

DAY 5: Today we rode for 340km... Not many kilometres but we made it to San Francisco and we are having fun! Tomorrow the plan is to visit Alcatraz and to spend some more time around San Francisco :)

Well... it finally happened.. I dropped my scooter :( I was stopping to take a photo and the bike fell on the gravel. Bike has a big dent and some scratches, I'm fine but the bike landed on my foot and my foot is pretty sore. A day ago I lost an exhaust gasket somehow and my Vespa sounded like a very loud Harley so I had to stop and fix it in Santa Rosa. Guys at Revolution Moto fixed that, replaced my rear brakes and cleaned and adjusted everything on my bike... it runs like new (or even better) :) Thank you so much for all your help!! It was so nice to visit a proper Vespa store with all the scooters and tons of scooter accessories!

It is pretty cold here, specially compare to +38C we had a couple of hours ago.

DAY 4: Today we rode for 408km... We are in California! Beautiful ride along the coast today! Tomorrow we should be in San Francisco!

DAY 3: Today we rode for 565km... Still in Oregon but about to cross to California :) As soon as we made it to the ocean, Tracy had to go and run in a freezing water under a pouring rain :) It has been raining for about half of the day today, I hope I can wake up tomorrow and start my day without having to put on all the rain gear. It will be very hard to beat riding Oregon coast during a very beautiful sunset, it was great!

DAY 2: Today we rode for 927km! The weather finally improved :) Today was a big day of riding. Vespa is running great and we did many kilometres... we managed to make it all the way to Portland, Oregon. Three states in one day, so far so good!

DAY 1: Total for today - 453km. Not a very pleasant ride today, it was poring rain, temperatures +7C and sometimes dropping to only +5C. Didn't take many photos, its not an easy thing to do when you all wet and cold :( We made it to Cranbrook, BC.

I am not alone in the Universe :) I parked with another Vespa earlier today at SAIT when I was doing some head shots. It's interesting how it makes you feel good to park close to the same vehicle as yours :)

I did some riding around downtown Calgary today, exploring some urban photo locations for the future photo shoots. I found some nice ones. It is very easy to explore on my little Vespa, I can go pretty much anywhere and can stop almost everywhere :)

A couple of Vespa accessories arrived earlier today :) I purchased a fly screen and a front rack for my scooter. After installing them I went for a little ride and it is great! What a difference the fly screen made, I can now ride relaxed on my longer/faster rides.
