Vesparicana - Probably the toughest trip on a Vespa ever made! 

Thank you for the English subtitles. Few people tend to do this. It really helps.

Wow .thank you so much for that and your subtitles.One of the great adventures we would all love to do but life gets in the way.Thank you for sharing some of you journey. Even at 72 i would so love to go but its life.

I just can't imagine doing so much travel on a Vespa but good on you for doing it for us.

Das ist absolut krass. Respekt an dich. Unfassbar das alles mit der Vespa

Fantastic! Have always been keenly interested in these kinds of of trips. Takes guts and a certain zest for life to actually do it! I salute you mate!

Congratulation on you trip and thank you for taking your time to be a world ambassador. I am sure your carried the message of unity and friendship to the world. thanks!

Impressive - great work, thank you.

Top Aktion und tolle Geschichte! Absoluter Respekt!

Respect for this guy!

Was für ein Wahnsinnstrip! Sehr cool!

Amazing, true bravery.

Fascinating journey you’ve had all the best from Stranraer Scotland

Awesome trip! Greetings from Vespa Club Latitud Cero, from Quito-Ecuador . One of our members Raul "Ruso" Ricaurte just finished the same adventure from Quito to Ushuaia to Alaska and back to Quito in a 1987 vespa Px 150

Hab das Buch gelesen. Respekt !!!

One man one task, Great !

Weltklasse!!! Respekt

Aaaaaaalter, sehr sehr geil!!

Beautiful ride! Greetings from Poland!

Awesome mate !!

What can I say .. Alexander is one hell of a tough guy .. a man from that era where ships were made of wood and men made of iron .. just wow!!

Wow thats awesome....

In Brazil by law the concentration of ethanol in gasoline is fixed: 27,5% (not 70% as stated). Prices in gas stations are free, but base price in refinery is set by the government through its state refinary company Petrobras. It was this way by the time of that trip. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu seinem Abenteuer!

A little tip I have found. If you ever find it hard to find 2 stroke oil. Look for Chainsaw shops, they are all still 2strokes!

This man is a dam Hero.. Folloing his dreams. I have the utmost respect.

Wow, that's impressive

Chapeau !!

Very nice story! cool guy.

Fantastic story and endeavour from England. Danke für die Untertitel!

Excellent

Excellent video...

Wow! 👍🏽

Haaaaammer geile Aktion

What an amazing trip! My hat is off to you. Did many of the cables break during the trip? Gear, clutch, throttle etc?

This guy is crazy. I don't mean that in an offensive way, but I would never have attempted what he did. I have been riding motorcycles all over the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for 45 years. The only U.S. state I have not been to is Hawaii. Well over a million miles. In 2002 I rode from Phoenix, AZ USA to Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay) AK and back on a 1998 Kawasaki KLR650. I made it, but had a lot of problems. Lots of flat tires, bad gas, passing trucks threw gravel at me, breaking my headlight, turn signals, and a couple of helmet face shields. But the biggest problem was the mud. Most people think of mud as being brown. The Mud on the Dalton Highway is gray. That is because it is part dirt, and part calcium chloride (basically salt) They put that on the roads to help with traction for big trucks and equipment. But it is very bad for motorcycles. When it dries it is like concrete. Even a high pressure car wash will not get it off. And it got into my radiator. I wound up having to order a new radiator, and rig up a way to help protect it from this stuff. It was a 9,000 mile trip that took almost 2 months. By the time I got back the motorcycle was all but destroyed. Despite my attempts to wash the salt off, the bike was badly rusted and corroded. I never did get it clean. That gray mud was so hard you had to remove it with a chisel. I decided after a while it was not worth keeping and spending money on, so I sold it cheap. I can't imagine making that trip, let alone all the way to Tierra del Fuego on a Vespa. I own a 1979 Vespa P200E. The engine was built by a local vintage Vespa shop with some reliability upgrades. I belong to a local vintage Vespa club. A couple of the members own the shop. We go for 100-200 mile rides, and even then some of the Vespas break down. Mine never has, but I went to the trouble of having it built right. I am an auto mechanic, and have done a lot of work on motorcycles, including the Vespa, but am not that familiar with the Vespa engine, which is why I had it done by experts/enthusiasts. I love riding it, but I would never consider a long distance trip on it, even within the U.S. I did see that video ScooterWest did on this guy. I just found this video. I get a lot of parts from Scooterwest, but their main focus is modern Vespas with EFI, something I have no interest in. At 2 months away from being 63, and with severe arthritis and bad joints, my long distance riding days are over. Like this guy, I never had a video camera on my rides. All I have are pictures, most of them taken with a film camera, my diaries, and some mementos I picked up along the way on various trips. I have a lot of respect for this guy, and wish him the best of luck on any future trips. But I still think he is crazy.

Great interview! i learned everything i need to know. Thank you to both of you. I feel exhausted just by listening. Hhahahhahah but good job!

respect

Cooler Typ hab ihn auf der Intermot 2018 kennengelernt "mega" mach weiter so (Kommen auch aus Köln und bin gerade dabei mor eine PX an zu lachen vielleicht macht mal eine kleine Tour zusammen)

From Beijing to Tasmania via Asia continent , Indonesia then Australia. Danke.

Wow ...such an achievement, must have a look for the book too

TOP!

👍🏼 super erlebnis, habe lust mit mein px 200

Mega top 👌

Respekt Alexander

Tolle Sache! Hat er auch selbst erkannt.

Interessantes Buch ! Bei den Vespa Days in Celle gekauft und den Roller angesehen

You should read about Giorgio Bettinelli, called "Mr Vespa"; he covered 144.000 km from Alaska to Tasmania on a single trip riding a Vespa. He totalized 254.000km during his life =)

Good luck

Cool video!! But the big question how did you finance the trip? Just saved and then went? Or...

Great interview and an even greater story. Is his book available in English?

Amazing journey, just amazing sleeping in bear country,in Canada.

This.guy.is.effin.badass.

Hi mate, well done, great travel, I’m planning to do that.. If interested i some vespa travel history, it starts in 1964, with Roberto Patrignani, when he made Milan-Tokio, and at that time was much harder to pass all the eastern countries, Russia, India, Cine etc.. Bu the best vespa traveller was Giorgio Betttinelli, he made the same travel as your, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, in 1995, and Roma-Saigon in 1992, and many other vespa travels, for more that a total of 350.000 km around the world. One of the first (if not the first) motorcycle long way travellers war Carlo Guzzi (Moto Guzzi founder), to test the first complete elastic frame in the motorcycle history, that he realized il 1927. In 1928 he made a trip from Mandello del Lario to Capo Nord with his Moto Guzzi GT 500 Norge, more that 12000km (two ways), with the inexistent roads for that time.. And may others in more recent times from all the countries of the world...

How did you get that vespa from "Correos", Spain??? lol

Fernweh!!!

Nice video, those Vespas are very rugged machines! Guys, it is COLOMBIA 🇨🇴, not Columbia (with a "u" is the capital of the state of South Carolina in the U.S.🇺🇸)

Love from India🇮🇳

Tolle Reise. Mit meiner Spanierin bin ich gerade auf dem Weg nach Gibraltar.

You are an amazing person and also Your WIFE! Your wife must be a super woman to understand the need you have. And, to have her along on your next adventure and wants to go says a lot about her too. Good luck to the both of you!

Es una vespa española del servicio postal de Correos...

wow, I am so much going to do that Update: 17/09/2019: I bought tubeless rims for my scooter.

Darf ich Dich Fragen wie viele KM Du Tagtäglich mit Deiner Vespa hinterlegst hast?

Welcome to Tibet, China

Mich interessiert auch , wie man so eine lange Reise finanziert. Wie hattest du das gemacht ?

Look on ..RU-vid.Peugeot Django Heritage compleet met sierbeugels en sissybar,gefilmd door Joop Visser.

Those German scooterists are nuts.

Mega geil. Mein Problem wäre nicht ob die Vespa zusammen bricht, sondern dass sie einen für 5 EUR umlegen.

How?🤯🤯

Hi nice video let's be connect permanently thanks 👍👍

Come Indonesian brother😁

ganda maluco

please write a book and have it translated into english!

Ich werde versuchen es nach zu machen mit Honda Spacy 125 . Gruß Ermelindo.
