Hey Flatgrind, I understand why you pulled the video, but I think you would have provided better service to your viewers by just placing some captions up on the screen during the scene where you misspoke. I watch many channels involving repairs, and that is a perfectly acceptable means of correcting the narrative without having to reshoot a scene. If you decide to do that, and then re post the video, I will certainly watch it

Happy winter solstice and merry Christmas! Right now life has me on the move, but hope to be back on the Vespa soon.

150cc ?

Cool pics 🙌

Oil color is actually a good indicator of oil condition. It will not tell you the condition of the oil additive package, but it will give a good idea of the overall oil condition.As to the people with oil consumption issues, I wonder if they have followed the proper breakin procedure, as you did.

One thing I notice about the Vespa is that the engine sounds very smooth, when you can hear it at all. The mirrors appear to be completely clear regardless of speed.

Seriously People! Don't accelerate when someone tries to pass you. Driving on the roads is not a competition, and you can get someone killed doing that.

I have experienced wobble only 1 time. It was on a mid 70s Honda 350 twin enduro, at about 35mph, on a gravel road. I was not able to damp it with my arms, but it grew to a point, and then remained steady. I just gradually slowed the bike, and it went away. I never experienced it again on that bike, nor on any other. I have seen videos showing progressive wobble that ended up throwing the rider off the bike. This happened at freeway speed. By the way, you can get 13" wheels for the GTS, and they are supposed to significantly enhance the handling, and reduce steering radius. For anyone who does not know, Vespa means wasp. It does sort of have a low waspish drone, which I find to be relaxing, though I also like the slower thump of the Royal Enfield 350s.

I take it the new Vespa is fuel injected ??? Had a meeting with bikers on Maui pulled over at the 8500 above sea level area. Some were adjusting their carbs for the haul to 1200 or something near that. The others had fuel injected sport bikes. Your Vespa handled that climb with ease. Cheers Ed

I had my first Vespa ride back in 1966. Life Guard at our local swimming hole took me for a scoot to find some Ginger Beer. Two things embedded in my mind after that ride. I need a Vespa and I need more Ginger beer. Riding motorbikes are antisocial to me. I ride my bikes to get away from people and to go out and explore the world. I kept a Honda trail bike on my ship I was Captain on. The Vespa would be a better ride and would accomplish everything that the trail did. Joe just needs to ride for himself and ignore what others think. Great video. Cheers Ed

I did the dragon in September when it was vacant. I was in my 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV2000. No one was on the road but me. Riding the Dragon on a Vespa appeals to me. Another iconic Italian Motorsport builder that makes the trip enjoyable and leaves the drama to others. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers Ed

Watching the white man version of yuru camp😆 /pos /jk

18:16 no, you don't need your slingshot right now

Oooh next camping, bring ramen cup and egg. Super good🤩

Hey I’ve been watching a few of your Vespa videos, and recently watched the first service one as I just bought myself a 2025 Gts 300 HPE and I know I’ll have to do that soon. I wanted to ask whats your gas mileage like for your Vespa, I fill mine and it says about 130mpg and my commute to work is typically 45-65mph but I actually feel like I burn fuel quicker than expected.

I did this on my Sym HD 200 about 10 years back and it was a blast though I had to take it slow on the tighter turns than the people behind me liked due to the center/kick stand dragging. I do intend to go revisit it with the same scooter but will most likely modify a different kickstand so I can lean more into the turns. Scooters are very good for many beginners to do this with due to not having to shift gears but make sure if you guys do this that you know how far you can lean your bike both directions so you don't get a nasty surprise in the sharper turns as it may slide out from you.

Drive slow there is no reason to go fast on that road

Where was this at i truly enjoyed the video and subscribed

A lil plastic bag with white powder. Hunter Biden 👀

Really good video thx 🙂 omg im totaly in love with the landscape...amazing. lg from aut

Top speed on my 63 Vespa was 45.

This place is so amazing! Where did you go? You said Colorado I'm wondering if this is it further north of Pueblo West or something play be close to Durango Southern Colorado, definitely beautiful country

How do Harley riders react to you pulling up on them in that

Great video, all well explained ! And btw a great garage .... I would like to have 😏

Meanwhile there is an employee at the mobility scooter shop wondering how this guy is burning through these 1 year warranty tires.

Great video, and the greatest camp ground I've ever seen ! When I look at your knees while you ride, I notice a very comfortable sitting position. How tall are you ?

Nice ride keeping up with those sport cars.

My tank 200 efi could do this easy.

Awesome country Definitely replace those tires A 50/50 of anything would be an improvement 😎🍻

Is this their 300 cc model? Looks so nice cruising around like that!

Boy is it incredible. I also plan to buy a Vespa and go on a trip to Europe. I have a few questions: how much can you actually drive in a day and what were the problems with the Vespa during the trip

Nice colour bike 😅

I have also ridden Harleys from age 16 to 65, and still have a carbureted Sportster 1200. I also have a Vespa GT200. I chose the GT 200 because it is carbureted. I have never owned a computer bike, and have no intention of ever owning one. The GT200 is just as fast as the GTS300, without all the TRASH technology. I have taken 500 mile trips on it with no problems. It only requires half the major maintenance that the new GTS300 HPE models have. I have never had a broken belt on it, the new Vespa HPE models have been breaking belts at under 6000 miles.

another video where you only see the dashboard

@129 and 72 is a great place dragon city... great food

I was nervous watching. Well done 'escaping'!

I'm glad I found your channel! I bought a S-10 about a year ago and I'm planning some off-pavement riding for next summer. I'm very experienced off-road, but on dirt bikes. I'm pretty inexperienced riding a big bike off road. Our season here is pretty much wrapping up for any mountain travel as I'm in Alberta Canada, just about 100km from the east slopes of the Rockies. Unrelated to the riding, may I ask what you use for a microphone and camera setup? Your audio is very clear. Thanks!

Thanks for the video I’ve just bought a 2024 Vespa gts 300 in the same colour

Yes more vids please.

You should never check your oil in a warm engine. So the exhaust is never an issue…

I just got home yesterday following a ride from Poplar Bluff, MO back to AZ. I spent my first night in Eureka Springs, AR. Riding in the Ozarks was absolutely amazing

I took a Prius through there and got 2 folks to move aside and was challenged by no one. Also turned the cashiers head when I filled up 😂. Good times

I just retired and I'm wondering what the best machine would be to ride the Tail bc I heard that the Grom is best and I no longer have one. Should I haul my practical Piaggio out there from the Charlotte area? It's faster than a Grom (top end) but no gears to work with. Maybe I should just throw my list away and kick the bucket when it's time. Nice video.

Good to see you back and looking forward for more videos. Thanks

Joe, I own two HD 3-wheelers but the Vespa is me go to bike. Run errands, take short hour rides in evening to unwind or do 100 miles on a nice afternoon just exploring. 70+ miles to gallon, light weight, twist and go, actually turn on a dime. But do not stop at places where people can walk up and talk because you get bogged down answering a multitude of people’s questions.

Good seeing you back on the Vespa!

the roads look nice for a scooter. will you get a windscreen now that their are so many bugs out?

Just so we're clear, I'll watch any of your videos. The perspective of the rider looking out over a Vespa at the scenery is great.

I’ve always ridden ‘proper bikes’ from a Harley to a GSXR. Sold my Triumph this year to buy a VW camper but still wanted something on 2 wheels. Always loved Vespa’s so got a GTS300. Absolutely love it. I’d say you get less excitement but more enjoyment if that makes sense. So easy to ride, nimble and quick off the mark, storage space and running costs etc are great. I get more interest from friends, family and strangers with the Vespa than I did with any of my other bikes. In the UK there are a lot of 125 scooters ridden by learners, you don’t see many Vespa’s outside the city so I think you get a bit more appreciation. In the future I’ll get another bike but I don’t think I’ll sell my Vespa.
