Riding a VESPA GTS SCOOTER In The City 

I just found your channel thanks to Scooter ‘Zine. When I joined a scooter club I had a GTS250ie. It was a great scooter until it wasn’t. Scooter peeps are usually cool.

LOL, dude you were all over the place. :)

Thanks for the video. Hilarious narration!

Like you, I moved to Portland in 2006. Moved to Olympia in 2016. I used to bicycle commute on Vancouver and Williams and am amazed at the growth.

I have a '22 GTS and am so glad it has a key and not that new-fangled fob/push button thing.

Pointless and aimless journeys are why we ride. Yes…?

Originally bought my 2020 Vespa Sprint as a back up to my SUV that was getting older. The thought being, If I drive it enough, it will pay for itself in gas. Fast forward one year and the SUV blows a head gasket and now I'm on the scooter full time. I live in Lake Oswego and 99% of my driving is in a 10 mile radius of home. Have no plans of buying another car at the moment. It's like a challenge to myself how long I can keep this going. The fun and money savings out weigh the minor inconveniences of wearing rain gear etc...

Have a happy new year Bug, stay safe and can't wait for those new videos in 2024 🥳

ABUS U or D locks are great as security. Kryptonite also makes excellent rotor locks. Sometimes I used a Kryptonite heavy link chain through a ULock in wheel and attach to a pole if it's sitting outside my apartment. So far so good

about the whole pedestrian thing, I agree that people who jay-walk tend to be a bit careless about it, if they weren't I wouldn't give half a damn. The car-centricity of North America is baffling.. and walking an extra 4 minutes to get to a stop-sign or stop-light and then walking an extra 4 minutes back when all you needed to do was cross a 50 ft street is insanity.

"Tesla Motorcycle Target Mode!" 😅🤣😂. And "I don't know what the hell I'm doing." 🤩🤣😁

hey, Bug! Drop that Sena-crap and get yourself a pair of bluetooth airbuds. You get ear-protection (noise cancellation) and great sound in one. Just get some small ones that doesnt fall off when you take the helmet on. I promise you, its a gamechanger. Cardo and Sena is stuck with old tech and ruining your ears with speakers that sound bad AND that has to overpower the roadnoise. As long as your not riding with others, theres no use in using this overpriced, dinosaur-solution. Jabra 85t`s are cheap and will totally demolish what you are using now. AND you conveniently already have your phone available at your handlebars/mirror. Keep up the good work! Greetings (again) from Norwegian scooterist. AND yeah, it works with phonecalls, too. The microphone on the bud actually have no problem picking up my voice, even though its in my ear, padded by the helmet. Both sony AND jabra works this way. You can thank me later.

my brother, I live in the city as well actually New York City I ride a a scooter as well. Do you want to talk about challenges try riding in the heart of Manhattan be safe

RIP REI

Hey Bug! Great video! Could you share what your bag on your back rack is? Nice looking!!!

I tried a disc brake lock on mine but it wouldn't fit, still on the lookout

What did you do wrong? You went shopping at an REI store instead of ordering online.

Dont have a Vespa, never will get one (have a Helix and Burgman 650) but I do enjoy your videos. BTW, whats your jacket and glove setup?

I think Bug means he's

Have you ever faced problem at the junction where the scooter doesn't activate the underground sensor and it won't ever turn the traffic light to green 😂? Those are designed for cars, and bikes and motorcycles usually don't activate them.
