A day out on the pop pop

[boboneleg]

I has a pass out today and had a few trails in mind but it was much too hot for trail riding.  I've had my Vespa PX200E for a couple of months now but have only ridden it locally so today was the chance to give it a proper run.

I had two destinations in mind but decide on South Wales as that would give it a run on the motorway .  I was pleasantly surprised as it kept up a steady 60-65mph until I got off the M48 at Chepstow.  Now for some twisties  on my favourite road up to Usk , well it ain't no big trailie and you had to pick your lines around the corners but the 10inch wheels did ok.

I stopped for a photo here, I imagine this is what the drive up to @Slowlycatchymonkey's pad is like ...........

 

It was time for a break so I headed for the Baffle Haus ..........

 

There were all sorts of bikes there today including some real class..........

 

 

No, not that fake Steve McQueen looky likey, I mean the Rally 200 in original clothing ......  

 

 

Time for a bite to eat ...........

I headed down to Newport now to go and have a gander at Wildcat Scooters.  It was a fail as it wasn't open ........... 

 

 

As it was so hot now it was time for some refreshment , so I stopped at a pub in Caldicot ...........

 

 

I then had a brief look at Caldicot castle.................

 

 

I needed to fill up twice during the ride so it's probably a little bit thirsty (aren't all 2-strokes) and don't even ask about the faff with the pre-mix oil but all things considered this is a great little summer ride pop pop
