Ride to Pennsylvania’s “Top of the World” on my Vespa GTS 

Completely agree! I don’t have the riding experience that you do, but I do love the ability the GTS affords me to travel both near and far, as well as the ease to navigate and capture the experience.

Thanks, Steve. I bumped into a guy last spring at Riansares Mountain overlook in Lamar. He was a well traveled rider with a recent trip on 2-wheels to Alaska on his resume. He highly recommended Top of the World, and even gave me his own paper map with it circled. It’s always great to bump into fellow riders and be able to swap ideas on cool destinations. I think you’d enjoy TOTW. It’s very peaceful up there, and the directions are straightforward: just follow the river northwest to Driftwood!

Thanks, Paul. I love having a whole day to explore and get lost and find my way home again.

Thanks, Ken. I bought a helmet mount for my GoPro last year and was disappointed when I edited the video for that very reason. I haven’t yet thought of a scenario when I would use it again.

Man, 300 miles is no walk in the park! I’m glad you were able to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, Vespa-style. Come see us in Pennsylvania sometime!

Thanks! I do enjoy the varied terrain here. Mix in the change in seasons and things are interesting year-round!

Thanks, Tim! I took Hazard Road all the way up through the game lands from Farrandsville to Haneyville. Like Columbus, I was hoping to find a passageway directly to Hyner on the opposite side of the river but had no luck. I knew Route 44 was up there and hate backtracking, it just took forever due to the rough terrain. I’ll probably never go that way again, but I did enjoy the experience!

Hi Lori, I’ve certainly had my share of maintenance issues but I do think many have come more from my own inexperience as a rider. I do tend to put a fair amount of mileage on the GTS, so it seems I’m constantly having to change oil and tires, and I burned out my ignition starter two years ago. I may be forgetting something, but overall I’ve been very pleased with the reliability of the GTS, and feel confident when I go for rides that it will get me there. I don’t have much experience riding anything else, so can’t make any comparisons. That being said, I often hear motorcyclists comment on not being seen or people pulling out in front of them. Knock on wood, but so far this has not been my experience. Maybe people are able to see me better? I’m not sure.
