cool vid keep it up

Great video and sense of humour , keep the shiny side up!

I found your scooter channel late summer after buying a 2009 Vespa LX150. I was a little butt hurt after you abandoned the scooter life, but I've oddly mirrored your trajectory. I just bought a 2019 Bonneville T120 to replace my little Vespa, which was spending more time in the shop than on the road. I had no intention of buying a Bonneville, I went to the dealer to test ride the new Honda CB650R and the Yamaha XSR900. Like you, it had been a few minutes since I'd last owned and ridden a motorcycle (I think 2009) and that motorcycle was a Kawasaki Ninja 250, so my riding history consisted of a 250cc motorcycle and a 150cc scooter. The CBR650 was awesome because it has their new e-clutch which does all the clutch work for you but you still shift through the gears. It felt big, fast and heavy but not too scary. Being a de-tuned inline 4, it's mostly docile at low revs. The Yamaha, on the other hand, was an insane beast that I was scared to ride off the lot. I managed to stall it and almost dump it in the parking lot on my first attempt to merge into traffic. I overcame that little moment and rode it around downtown Nashville a bit, and, feeling a little more confident, goosed the throttle after a stop light and, holy shit, that's way too much bike for most mortals. The engine snarls and pops and feels like a hell demon. I was looking for a sensible commuting vehicle, not a ticket to the afterlife. But they had this used Bonny with Triumph saddle bags and a windscreen and it just made a lot more sense for me as a Vespa replacement (you know, I could carry stuff on it). While it's big and heavy and doesn't have an e-clutch or a quick shifter, it felt more comfortable and manageable for a rider who really had no business looking at any of these three and it was also a full $3000 cheaper than the other two; so it's the one I rode home. I gotta say, I freaking love it. Those heated grips, man, game changer. I know you've moved on from the T120, and who knows where I'll be in the coming months and year(s), but I just wanted to share.

❤🛵👍

good video enjoyed 10/10

You need to learn how to park a Vespa at the grocery store. You supposed to park your scoot 3 ft from the front door. Vespa privilege.

Love mine. Absolutely enjoy every km/mile on this bike.

I had the same problem of not starting up on the first try on my ‘24 Speed Twin. Then I read somewhere that some Triumphs don’t like being turned off via the killswitch. It should be turned off using the key. After switching, I never had the problem since. Starts up first time every time.

Thanks for the fun informative video! Looking to get a V7 Stone or a T120, think I'm going with the V7 just for the fun of it!

Stickers no no

its not legal to park on the sidewalk there?

your a very grumpy old man

btw. strong magnets under the scooter helps you trip the street light censors.

i like riding at night because its the only time of day when its dark. except for an eclipse i guess...

i will take the snakes and spiders here in australia anyday over your bears. at least snakes cant bust up my tent and eat me in my sleep.

Get a small limb. And whittle off some shavings.even when the shaving are wet.they dry a lot quicker.and keep adding small twigs on up to larger ones.

Plastic bottle laying along the road some where.

When you was standing over the fire saying fire.It reminded me of the movie castaway.When he had to build a fire without matches.

Just buy fire starters.

An electrical worker from Prince Edward Island was out side my house in South Carolina recently. He was repairing damage done by Hurricane Helene. We didn't talk about bicycle tours.

Some Say It's the Vespa of Motorcycles. I'd disagree its more like a Honda 90 step through. As for the fit, finish and build they're are a beautiful work of art.

”Now what???” Good question. Two months later the answer seems to be even more musings about being an ”older” driver over at the other channel. Please get a Vespa again and rekindle your sense of humor.

Pretty sure if I tried doing a video like what you are doing. It would be so dang, not cool, not watchable. Much respect. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Enjoy the humilty and perspective. My T120 arrives next week!

Good video i enjoyed it

i’m in nyc and ill die on a vespa! I Love It! it’s perfect here i have a 2019 notte and i ran it with no oil and blew the motor almost at the center of the bridge going uphill. so i only had to push it 200’ and rolled down to the bklyn side. thank god it was early am, no traffic. I went out the next day and ordered a 25 matt blk super sport 8,100.00. 10,000.00 with all da charges i will love it im sure! thanks for ur time Sir!

Nice video! Liked and Subscribed! I have a Piaggio Liberty 150S UA-cam channel as well! Scooters rule 🤙

i have those same screen but it shoot around my neck not my eye level? am i put it right? should i adjust the screen higher? ow man those shooting wind through my neck is killing me make me headache on long run

Very nice bike. I recommend you wait until December and ride up to the Olympics as unprepared as your first camping video on the Vespa, that was hilarious, and it's kinda what the Tiger was built for.

Quite possibly the most neurotic video on UA-cam! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Never thought about a cold helmet, I bet that sucked. Next time I recommend a hatchet. Glad you had a good time, thanks for bringing us along.

3:05 "its more than a bread basket and less than skin grafts" you sir just gained a subscriber

Hey, im looking foward to buy this jacket, you mentioned that you also bought the airbag, do you know if I have to keep in mind the 4cm gap that alpinestars recommends, or since this jacket is already compatible I can just for the size the best suits me without worrying about the gap needed? I read somewhere that this jacket has expansion slots especially to accommodate the airbag when deployed, but I'm not sure

Oh, talking shit about Robert Plant. This will not stand, man...

As young I liked to drive motorcycles but it was cold. I recall to sittin in bathtub to get my knees warm againg. Bad feeling of knees cold iside of them! Not anything like that with a Vespa. Perhaps you shall get that new "bigger" 310 Vespa GTS ;-)

Not interested of those mirrors, but nowadays Vespa-miorrosr have developed=they are vorse that earlier round ones were. Smaller and the suck water inside.

My 2024 does not have sound, but surely pet carrier does sit awfuylly vorse than my 2012 did. You really have to adjust it, not jus drop in like older one did.

.bug, thank you for the thank you! You know what they say, “Once you go scooter, you don’t go back,” or something like that. Anywho, ride safe, be well and I’ll see ya when you trade in your motorcycle for another scooter. Be young. Be foolish. Be happy. 🛵🏁🎯 Cheers m8!

I love how this video is super informative, yet also casual and hilarious lol. New subscriber instantly👏🏻 btw nice Tesla lol

Headlamp is a must.

I laughed about the radio comment. I did a one night motorcycle camping trip out to the boonies. I skipped out listening to the radio that night to stay disconnected. Woke up surrounded by a wildfire! The 2014 “Gatlinburg” fire started off as wildfires in the surrounding NF where I was camping. They rolled in quick and I had no idea they were coming. I thought the ash falling was some mountain snow.

ever looked at the yamaha tmax?

So long, bug. It's been real.

They say it to comfort themselves. It makes them feel better. My wife always says that and I just tell her I will give it my best shot and then tell her I love her. We can’t be thin skinned.

I feel you should have imported this video over to the start of the new channel.

Little things drive you fucking nuts mate... Great scooter though, I'm on my fourth gts300, first three have been stolen. London I'm talking about...

Came for the Bogota review, stayed because of Port Lando and the running dialogue. I like the idea of just doing stupid shit and the endless honest ejaculations.

bug just buggin The market is there for making reviews. Could ride all different types of 2 wheeled contraptions, making a review while inserting your sharp wit and humor. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Idk. Just an idea.

Laughed my ass off throughout the entire video.

Sad but... why not starting projects about renovating, repairing (with aid of course) of old old Vespas? And maybe selling and starting again...
