Earlier this week I posted about Riding to AmeriVespa 2026 later this year. Which made me think I should get busy and start editing video (I like riding much more than I like editing) of last summers ride to AmeriVespa. I spent a little over a month on the road last summer riding from Austin, Texas to Portland, Oregon for AmeriVespa. Attending the AmeriVespa Rally and then riding to Seaside, Oregon for the start of the 2025 Scooter Cannonball which brought me all the way back to Texas! Here is Day One - Austin, TX to Lubbock, TX of last summers adventure.![]()

I’ve now put just over 100 miles on the 2010 Vespa GTV and it is running great!

Rest in Peace, Andrea Pruett, Mojave Desert icon and beloved owner of the Bagdad Cafe in Newberry Springs, California. 19 June 1940 - 13 January 2026![]()
I have ridden by the cafe many times, and was fortunate enough in 2023 to share a cup of coffee, and some time with Andrea herself! She was so proud of her famous Cafe, and its place in history as a quirky rest stop for desert travelers.
