Awesome ride. Very impressive, especially on a 150cc. Looks like a ton of fun. Hope to do something like this one day. Also thanks for introducing me to Relive. I used this on my last video. Been looking for an app like that for awhile. Not sure how I never found it. Hope you’re enjoying Canada!

Nice trip and explained very well. One question, how do you setup youre gps that avoids highways. Do ypu have a normal car gps. I use google maps. For now im making use of cycle 0ads becaise of the kind of license platei have bit in future im thinking about riding on car roads...but not highwaus because the scooter will go at max 45km p/h. Hope you had a nice time riding. Im enjoying youre v8deo. Gr from the netherlands

Hello! Sorry for the delay, as I did not see your comments! I have a Garmin Zumo XT2 gps, which has options for different avoidances, including highways! I’ll be doing a video soon, where I talk about the gps and some of the mods I have done to make it work for me! Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Have a great trip! Where did you get the helmet with matching stripes? I have a white Racing Sixties as well.

Thank you! I got the helmet from Cycle Gear, and had someone add the stripes! Any local automotive vinyl shop would likely do it for you!

Sounds like fun. Have a great time! How many miles is your trip/how many days are you riding?

Thank you! I think when all is said and done it’ll be about a week, and about 800 miles or so!

Nice! I considered ordering from them but the shipping costs were crazy imo and I wasn’t sure how long it would actually take to get here. Sounds promising though. May have to reconsider/look at it again. Glad your experience was a good one.

It ended up being about $100 total, which I felt was worth it! I’ve ordered a few things from them, and delivery is usually speedy!

I’ve had the same issue w/ GoPro, and I’m personally not sorry GoPro! Your customer service is terrible. I may have to get the remote as well once I get a second Osmo. Fun exploration. Looks great! Feel the same way about Apple and I’m a tech guy.

Thank you! Yeah I had enough of GoPro. It’s been so much better. Still figuring out the remote, but so far so good!

Your Vespa tires will last longer as long as you check your tire pressure regularly. I check my tires every time I go out for a ride. I ride a 2021 Vespa 300 and my rear tire was changed at 9,500 miles. I use Michelin City Grip 2's. My front tire is very close to being changed out and is currently at 18,500 miles. The longevity may also be a direct result of riding on straight flat roads in Florida.🤣

@WanderOnTwoWheels 5 ай бұрын

I bought a TPSM kit for my tires, which has been great at helping me keep an eye on tire pressure, so you may have a key point! I am checking them pretty consistently. So far the Pirelli Angels they put on feel fine. I’m just hoping they have a similar durability to the prior City Grips! Haha, yeah lots of straight flat roads out there, but also better riding weather longer! Cheers!

I carry around a Fanttik portable air inflator. VERY easy way to check your pressure. Costco currently selling S100.

How quickly does the Vespa go through tires and is regular maintenance very expensive? Ideally I'd love to get one but I also like the Royal Alloy. I'm torn, but based on the initial cost I'm leaning towards the Royal Alloy. 🛵

Hi there! Great questions! I had Michelin City Grips on the bike when I bought it in May of 2022. They still looked and felt pretty good when I had them replaced in February with almost 11,000 miles on them! Unfortunately they did not have the City Grips, so I now have the Pirelli Angels on there. I’ll see how long they last. As for maintenance, it is hard to find places local to Rhode Island, so I have been trying to learn what I can. I can do oil and filter changes myself now, but actually found a place in New Hampshire that came to pick up the bike in February for its 10,000 mile service, which was pretty pricy. My goal for this year is to learn more maintenance, because it really is the only annoying thing about owning a Vespa. I hope that was helpful! Happy shopping, and have fun with whatever you decide to get!!

@vanmandad 5 ай бұрын

Thanks, and yes that was very helpful. I just don't see the need to use a car (unless the weather is bad) with only one person in it - me. I'm also considering the Honda Supercub because of the retro look. And the price, of course!

@WanderOnTwoWheels 5 ай бұрын

@@vanmandad yeah I only use my car when the weather is bad, or I have to do some shopping that can’t fit on my Vespa! The Super Cub looks pretty cool, too! And there seem to be more Honda dealers around.
