Vivo Vespa first year anniversary
I missed out on much of the activities for the Vespa Club first year anniversary. But I still had an eyeful looking at all the colourful and interesting scooters of all sorts of shapes and size.
When I reached Wild Rocket at Mount Emily, I could see lots of people lounging around over at the verandah. Most of them looked a little tired, probably from the activities that they did this morning.
Some of the Vespa Club members explained to me that the participants did a number of challenges around Singapore. It sounds fun, though I have to admit that I didnt miss it all that much in account of the rain and traffic due to the Iron Man Triathlon on sunday ;)
So I walked around and looked at the rows of beautiful vespas. I enjoyed looking at them. There’s something just so unique about it - a work of art by itself.
Like this Green PX150. I really like the paint job for this one. Green is such a beautiful colour. This owner has impeccable taste. *thumbs up*
Though this scooter isnt really my type of style, once has to admit that it is very eye catching. This very flashy chrome laden vespa even comes with a babe. The fact that she’s wearing green makes the vespa even more valuable :D
Isnt this Hello Kitty Vespa the cutest? :D This scooter is such a head turner that its even stomped! Now I’m considering of respraying my scooter and stick a rinaz avatar! :)
Soonafter was the lucky draw and then the prize giving presentation :
Winner of the best overall vespa
Winner of the best paintjob Vespa (Coincidentally, I nominated this Vespa the best looking vespa at the Big Bike Fest last year)
Very lovely scooters indeed! Do you like scooters? Would you get a Vespa? :)
With thanks to redmini03, pauche and novi03 for the pictures

Vespas are not just bikes, its a lifestyle :D
Hehehe. Wild Rockets is a beautiful place up Mount Emily. I didnt eat their food there though, so I cant really tell but from the reviews, many people liked it :)

I am not exactly a bike person, but Harley Davidsons and Vespas do make me go “ooh! nice!”, heh!
Personally I prefer cars, but not those big ones, I absolutely love Minis.

Hi, yes! I remember you! :)
Its nice to meet you on Sunday, although it was very very brief. Gosh from your demenour, I didnt think that you could ride. But there are more and more ladies who ride now - even the most petite and gentle ones :)
You’re right there, riding just doesnt compare with driving because in riding, you really feel the elements the wind and the occasional rain :)
I think you might like the auto vespa, those are so easy to ride!
By the way wild rocket is a really nice chillout place, I like the charming old building amist the surroundings :)

Wild rocket looks like a nice place to chill, I like the view from the verandah - the building is charmingly colonial too. Am not too sure about the food there though, I didnt really eat anything there, so I cant really give any opinions about it :)

Yes, please sign up for 2B classes! There’s nothing like having the wind on your face as you cruise down the road. The feeling is incomparable - nothing like it :)
*waves pompoms for you to start your classes*
