Congrats on the move. I wish nothing but the best for you and your wife and family.

Speaking of scooters, I’m a lifelong motorcycle rider but with our recent purchase of a vacation condo in Southern California and it’s one car garage, I’m thinking of a Vespa 300. They really go and look like fun. They can hit close to 90.

What kind of scooter did you get? I’d be curious to know.

Thanks! Great post.

In Spain you can drive any motorbike 125cc and below with a regular driver's license. A 125 is also legal on any road in Spain so in theory you could drive across the country on their best superhighways. We bought a Piaggio 125 and love it. We are also in an area where it hardly ever rains, you can ride year round and the roads and scenery are spectacular.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Piaggio owns Vespa. They had a vintage Vespa convention in Nerja last week, hundreds of them being displayed in the Plaza Espana. I think you would have enjoyed it.
