My brother has had a 1976 Vespa scooter for several years while he's lived here in Boston. It's a 4 speed 125cc scooter. He has recently rebuild the engine thus improving its performance immensely. As winter approaches, the scooter utility will be greatly reduced by the less pleasant weather, thus it is important to properly prepare the scooter for winter storage... which requires burning the remaining fuel in the fuel tank.
With Thanksgiving breakfast behind us, many of the gathered went for a walk. Instead Dave and I got out the scooter and started buzzing around town.
We caught up with those who were on a walk, and enticed them to join us for scooter rides. In this picture is Dave and his sister-in-law about to head out for a spin. 
My favorite part of the scooter, is getting to wear the motorcycle helmets. They make you look tough.
