Stayed pretty warm, except I should've worn warmer socks. Was expecting the sun to come out but stayed cloudy. Rode through SoHo in NYC, watching tourists window shopping. Absolutely love how easy it is to find street parking with the vespa. Look forward to riding more. Positive

I think GoPro and a few other are out there too.

I am still confused. You must have to hold the camera on something out in front of the scooter, or am I missing something. Bob Copeland

Bob, I saw a similar or maybe the same type of camera being used on our big ride this year. It was mounted on a Ram type ball mount and sits up vertically. I understand the operator can select particular views including rotating from a forward view through 180 or more degrees perhaps to focus on a particular feature. I don't pretend to understand but I have seen some footage and it's certainly impressive. I guess it has at least 2 lenses but someone may be able to correct that.

I'm going to use my freshly acquired ability to give you a thumbs up.
I didn't manage to see myself enjoying tourist type activities you missed me by days!
Hope you enjoy my very first MV thumbs up. No longer a lurker.
