This is my 12-hour scooter trip video from San Diego to Lake Tahoe for the 3rd Annual Royal Bastards Scooter Club Lake Tahoe Rally. I rode my 2008 Vespa GTV250.

  • Hi Rex! I must say this video is one of my favorite ones.

    One question though: what is that gray stick on your right handlebar - near the throttle? Is that a cruise control of some sort?

    Thanks.

    Tomas (GTS 250)

  • @kwestak Yes Tomas. It's a metal rod, a tent stake. It's keeps the throttle wide open. It's held by a rubber band with some tension that pulls it to the left so at the flick of my thumb, it comes right off. The rubber band pulls it quickly to the side.

  • love the vids.What helmet are you using.I would like to buy one exactly like that.thanks

  • @TheLivingfood Thanks! My helmet is a modular with a built-in visor. It's the HJC IS-Max. It's similar to their SY-Max and SY-Max II models.

  • sweet! fun to watch it, I remember a lot of places there when I rode my burgman 400 to WA from TX last month. what camera did you use?

  • I used my Sony CX12. It's a small, palm-sized HD camera tethered to the handlebar by a neckstrap. Everything was done handheld ;)

see all

  • this is awesome, i plan on doing a video like this for my 8hr, 750km ride to home from the city im buying my scooter at.

    you did a great job on the video! super fun to watch.

  • so you just hold the camera in your left hand while filming? very nice video! I used to think my vids were okay until I watched a few of yours. I was convinced that driving with one hand and video taping with the other was too dangerous so I stopped doing footage while actually riding. What do you think? Here's one of our clubs larger scoots (before I gave up one handed riding!) (had to post it as a video response)

  • I loved this video!

  • amazing!! Will there be a longer version?

  • very cool!! I want a scooter now!!

  • you're the MAN!
