Love Vespas? Have a Fred Perry polo shirt and/or low profile Adidas tennies? Live in Italy? We have we got the most exciting weekend event for you! It's the Vespa Club Lonigo Gimkana Vespistica 2007!!! We went to this a couple of weeks ago in a town about 30 minutes away from us. It was pretty cool- there were classic Vespas, local bands, inflatable slides for the kids, face tattoos, souvenirs for sale, food and beer, all to the sounds of a DJ playing what Joel called "60's soul B-sides" on 45's. As usual, we were solely responsible for representing the American community, but whatever. We seem to be a fun novelty for the locals we run into.
On a side note, this was another example of how much more family-friendly the Italians are than Americans. There were rides for the kids, and many people were giving the little ones rides on the scooters and asking us about Ava and Aidan. Although I have never been to a Vespa scooter rally in the states, I can't imagine that the tattooed rockabilly participants would pay any attention to any kids there. Of course, I could be wrong... if you have been to a US scooter rally- and really, who hasn't- I welcome your comments!!
