My name is Brook Dain and I like motorcycle adventures with one small twist... I do it on a Vespa
Day 15 - 318 miles from Richmond, Indiana to Fayetteville, West Virginia. It was a three state day! Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia! The highlight of the day was a visit to Jungle Jim’s International Grocery (see separate post), visited the Shawnee Serpent Mound Effigy, got stung by a bee 🐝, spent most of the day winding around Ohio twisties until I saw a pink elephant. (I swear I haven’t been drinking 🤣) throw in a couple of bridges and a waterfall and you have a full day.
I wouldn’t normally get excited by a grocery store. But… This place is absolutely insane! In the best way possible! ![]()

Sun is up! Trying to get an early start today. I’m not sure this BMW owner knows how a motorcycle is supposed to work.
Day 14 - 310 miles from Chicago, Illinois to Richmond, Indiana. It was a long day and I’m exhausted. I never like scooting strange roads and getting to the hotel after dark. On the plus side Indiana is the 49th state I have ridden a scooter in! I only need Hawaii to have the full set! The theme for today should have been “closed” multiple road closures hampered my progress. And a few of the stops I had planned were closed for Labor Day. I did manage to see the KoKoMantis, the World’s Largest Ball of Paint, and the mimetic architecture at the Warm Glow Candle Company.
