Vespas - "on the road again"
After a two-year Covid driven pause, SIP Scootershop's popular 'Vespa Joyride' came back with a bang in July with around 200 scooter fans from as far afield as Sweden making the pilgrimage to help 'Keep the Flame Alive'.
The day started at SIP's award-winning architectural marvel of an HQ building in the medieval town of Landsberg on the River Lech in southwestern Germany, with Italian coffee and pastries served by the dedicated 'Siperia' team.
The event included all types of Vespa, from the 50s tubular handlebar models to classic wide frames and small frames right up to modern and late-model Vespas - stock bikes, customs and specials - and just to show what a diverse and all-encompassing vibe Vespa aficionados have, even some Lams were allowed to 'sneak in' to share the fun.
After SIP boss Ralf Jodl set the run on its way, the long convoy of rattling machines headed for the picturesque old town, then out onto the small rural roads of Upper Bavaria around the Ammersee. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing around the helmets of the riders and many a shout of delight could be heard - "finally, on the road together again"!
