Great scooter. I’m always impressed when people take small wheels on rough roads.

Kiev10 Foma100 fog3 by João Avelar, no FlickrThat was a day where I had decided I was heading out into the Brisbane Valley to Esk come hell or high water and as it happened it was a mid thirties day, so nearer hell! Quite a task for the poor Vespa which in those conditions can't really be ridden over 60kph or it overheats and starts pinging. Great ride though, I got some good photos and really enjoyed the challenge! 🙂Great scooter. I’m always impressed when people take small wheels on rough roads.
Impressive. Queensland weather should be no problem - parts of Italy are super hot in summer. But ‘should’ and ‘how it is’ sometimes fail to intersect, as we know. The designers probably assumed these scooters would only be used for relatively short urban commutes.That was a day where I had decided I was heading out into the Brisbane Valley to Esk come hell or high water and as it happened it was a mid thirties day, so nearer hell!

Nice. I like the ‘incoming blur’.A self portrait I did some time ago with my Crown Graphic in an old shed near here. Setting a very long exposure, triggering the shutter then walking over and getting into position in the frame and being as still as possible once seated until the expose was complete. I think the film was TXP 320.
