I was planning on a little wrenching this morning, tackling the rear break shoes that I have been psyching myself out on. The only Vespa dealer in town just closed, so I need to accelerate my ability to repair, maintain, and upgrade my little wasp. I got no where else to go.
But man, today I feel lazy, and I kind of want to go for a ride and grab a BLT. I could try the brakes after, I mean, how long could it take?
In 3 weeks, we are taking a road trip to Arizona to see Sedona and the Grand Canyon, and the Vespa will be along for the ride on a hitch mounted carrier. We are renting a house outside Flagstaff, and I am excited about exploring on the Vespa. If any Arizona Opponauts have any suggestions on things to check out, please comment.
This is how I will see the Vespa there:
Do I have time for this mod?
Kinda like these. I think rally Vespa is pretty cool. But if I was going to restore mine, I would go with racing livery.
Of course, there is always a whole different direction I could go.
Thanks for your patience with my silliness.

From experience, drum brakes are fine, just a bit fiddly. Just remember to take a picture of what it all looks like together when you take the drum off, and take your time. I wish I still had a vespa, I miss pootling around on it.

My advice is get a real scoot to spend money on instead of dumping money on a twist and go.

I’d recommend eating at Pogo’s in the Village of Oak Creek just south of Sedona. If you like there’s a lot of good hiking there as well. If you like weird artsy crap there’s that in spades.
