Canadian here. Used to own a 1961 Lambretta Li150 when I was younger, which I got for $90 because a flatmate owed me money for a phone bill. Restored it, rode it for a bit and got hit in an accident. Didn't have the heart to restore it again, so sold to a friend. This really got me rev'd up for my old Lambretta though. Thanks for the video, and the memories. Looks like an awesome trip.
Hi from Germany! It is a nice footage-THANK YOU for taking us all along your roadtrip. I truly can imagine how bad your feelings must have been leaving your scooter back in a foreign country...not knowing how the story will continue...?!It also reminds me of my solo-VESPA-Trip with my little tent last week to the "European Vespisti Week-2024" in Montenegro Terme in Italy. I drove within a 5-days-trip from Northern Germany to this small city right under Padua - a nice little town near Venezia, which i rode for and visited too...and some other day-trips with the local "Vespa Padene"-Club in their region. These guys are reaaly great people - thanks for their great hospitality! I headed back on monday to the Lake of Garda to the small village "Gargnano" for a night to sleep in a small hotel before heading northwards the day after. Passing the "Gampenpass" and "Timmelsjoch" with such a little scooter was an adventure and a fantastic ride.After 2.600 km for such a short time i was really "blasted" and this memories will probably last forever...!? Wishing you all beautiful and safe rides allover the world and hoping to seeing someone of you on any road... Best regards, Linus
You all would feel at home in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, where there's a variety of Classic scooters and many gifted mechanics who keep them running.
My brother Leif and cousin John did the same trip back in the late 1950s, from Valby in Copenhagen to the Italian alps and back on a Vespa, riding two up plus luggage, I remember them saying it could hardly make it up some of the mountain passes and the brakes wouldn't hold on the downhills. My brother had a Lambretta, I think a 125cc, that I loved riding passenger on as little child, it was responsible for my life long love of riding. Really enjoyed your trip video!!
I do not drive a scooter, but another classic old vehicle, and I have never had any of my long trips go totally without some sort of breakdown 😁 I even had a breakdown in Innsbruck 5 years ago when my clutch slave cylinder decided to leak and give up. But never the less, being on these very long drives is an adventure, so I keep venturing out on very long drives every year. Call me crazy, but I love it...
This is a great video and record of your trip. Gutted for you. Breaking down on a long trip is never fun. Pleased you managed to get sorted in the end.
You guy have the right idea lads, I am 72 and have done a few trips on my Vespa, I bought it in northern Norfolk, England and Rode it down to Portugal with wife on the back. GREAT FUN. You trip on old bikes sounds better, if a bit smelly. I have a SIP screen on my scooter, didn't know it was German.. You LUCKY BUGGA!!!...but then you need a little luck...yours wasn't great, but great video, thanks Danska.
Greetings from Taiwan. There are a lot of motorcycles in Taiwan. Many people are fans of scooters. These scooters fill the daily life of Taiwanese. People in Taiwan often use scooters for long-distance travel. Maybe we can communicate. Congratulations on your journey. Ping An used translation software for this article
Great trip! I know your pain in the a** when your scooter isn't running any more. I did some trips with my best friend from austria to rome, monaco, zakynthos and so on... Something is always happening. And as you said, there is always somebody who helps. In my case, my best friend is an oldtimer Vespa and Lambretta mechanic, so I am really lucky every time. If something is broken, he can fix it, with or without a workshop, dependig on the damage. During one journey, 3 out of 4 cylinder screws slowly but surely came loose or were torn off. And this happened right at the start of Ferragosto. This means that everything, really EVERYTHING is closed. We really thought, that this is the end of our trip. Fortunately, my parents decided to follow us with a trailer and took us to Rimini, to Deans Lambretta Center Rimini. My friend has known Dean for several years and Dean's words were: mi casa es su casa :). There, during the Italian holidays, we got a new engine half, and my mate was able to rebuild the engine in Dean's workshop within a few hours. The best thing about it? Dean's wife cooked us original Italian spaghetti and we were allowed to eat with the family. In the end, we made it to Rome and back home again without any major problems :) But of course, damage doesn't always end so happily, and on one or two occasions my Lami had to be brought home by the automobile club (ÖAMTC). Nevertheless, it is always a pleasure to cruise over mountain passes and through the most beautiful landscapes with the Lami. Thank you very much for your great video! Can you tell us what camera equipment you were travelling with?
What an interesting story. You are very brave to try the trip on such an old vehicle. How unfortunate to have two breakdowns. Thank you for taking me along.
What a wonderful trip and video, I love the music that was not loud and obnoxious like so many videos I have started and quickly moved on. I am Sorry that you could not complete the voyage with the group, i have a small scoot myself where I love going places with, and several motorbikes, but the scooter is just another level, when you are on the road it is just like the soft music that paves each mile with peace and calmness, not like being on a motorbike where you have to be alert and focused for any danger that is presented in front of your horizon. Thank you for sharing this video, cheers from California.
Hello from a suburb of Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. I really enjoyed your video, narration and music. If you did the editing, well done. I have a 2020 Vespa 300 GTS Touring. I have never made such a trip here, but maybe one day I will be able to start on my own adventure. That is such beautiful scenery; I hope to see it with my own eyes some day. Thanks again for doing it. Safe travels.
What a great video. I have got to do a trip like this from the UK on either my smallframe or px200. I went through Germany and Czech Republic and Austria on my way to Hungary a few years ago on my own and really enjoyed it but I would like to do something like this with others just in case. Luckily my old PX went from UK to Hungary with no problems apart from wrong jet installed and vespa mechanic in Berlin sorted that. As you said, the community of classic scooters is terrific and always someone to help.
Brilliant video and, in many ways, really inspiring........! (I am English, live in Italy and see so many classic Italian scooters still being used every day as regular daily transport - but - with the special 'magic' that belongs only to Vespa's and Lambretta's).
Fabulous video! Made me long for the TV175 I had as my first ride back in 1965 in Norfolk, UK. Scooter folks are the best! Couldn't get over how help materialised from nowhere to get you back on the road. Cheers from Alabama.
Epic tour-vodeo and the best shots from your vespa. Sad for broken twice bit things happens. Thank you for make me forget my Vespa's problems and imagine things that i couldn't do cuz of my vespa. God bless you 🙏 all guys.
What a fabulous idea. I love old 2 stroke bikes (and cars). I learnt to pillion ride as a young teenager on a Lambretta Li 150 from about 1960. A couple of years ago I did the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Málaga on my Suzuki T200 Invader. I was very impressed by two mature (fairly well built) ladies that did the run on an old Vespa. The scooter never missed a beat, and it was very skillfully ridden by the ladies. (Quite difficult conditions, extreme heat, hundreds of bikes and very slow progress. That made the ladies performance all the more impressive).
Aqui de Guaramirim, estado de Santa Catarina, BRASIL. Na minha infância meu pai e primos tinham Lambretta Li...E sempre foi minha paixão... Aos 58 anos adquiri uma Lambretta Li 1963.... Show esta aventura pelas terras da Dinamarca, Alemanha, Áustria e Itália...sonho de qualquer Lambreteiro aventureiro...
You have more fun on a small bike, and when you break down, you meet the most friendly and helpful people. A Dane watching from Australia.

Adventurous ride with a touch of emotion, something reminiscent of the epic bygone days of Vespas and Lambrettas.
What a supercool adventure! And super the guys from Austria who helped you getting up and running again! ❤ Your community!
