Hi folks,

got a friend in Italy working in a bike magazine

http://www.riders-online.it/

They want to come to London for a review, rent an old vespa and go 'round few places where bikers usually meet.

I will mention Borough, he knows the Ace already…

Any idea or suggestion for renting or location to visit?

Thanks Davide

Is he just looking at London or the whole of the UK?

There is, or was, a scooter meet at Bar Italia in Soho.

High Beech in Epping on Sunday mornings, too.

On a Vespa ? :w00t:

I’d think BM to North Circ would be far enough for a morning :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t laugh I know someone who rode her Vespa from Vicenza (near Venice) to London!

If he’s coming soon he could go to Brighton seafront on either of the May Bank Holidays and see a few scooters. Or check on a scooter forum.

Well if he’s over here at the time there is the May Day run, well on May Day.

Starts at Locks Bottom, just off the A21 near Orpington, and goes to Hastings. It can easily be done on a scooter as I’ve passed “runners” on Honda C90’s.

It’s a great almost spontaneous affair with a huge cross section of the PTW community.

I recommend Modern Vespa as a good forum, especially for more modern Vespas. It is a US forum, but there are plenty of UK and European activists on there who refer to themselves as the Donkei SköK SC. DSSC do organise rides in London and SE.

Hi all,

thanks for the reply. They will come by plane but they need to rent a Vespa here and yes only 3 days, I think, hence London only.

thanks once more

Davebob :wink:
