Vespa 80th Anniversary in Rome – Dave’s Adventure
30000 Vespa's ride around Rome and I was right in the thick of it
Hi, I’m Dave – a lifelong motorcycling enthusiast with a camera always within arm’s reach. Whether I’m riding through country lanes or navigating the heart of a city, I find beauty in the journey and the stories it tells.
Photography started as a way to capture those fleeting moments on the road, but over time it became much more—a way to connect, reflect, and share experiences with others who appreciate the rhythm of the ride and the world around us.
This site is a mix of what I see and what I love: bikes, people, places, and the unexpected details that make each moment unique. I’m not a professional photographer or writer—just someone passionate about documenting the ride and everything that comes with it.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to browse, download, or just enjoy the images. And if you’re a fellow rider or photo enthusiast, don’t hesitate to say hello.
30000 Vespa's ride around Rome and I was right in the thick of it
For me this was the first scooter rally of 2026 and one for me to fully test myself, Phoenix my Vespa GTS 300 and the camping gear I have been putting together over the last few months for the adventure from London to Rome end of June 2026.
I set it up originally to see what it was all about and it soon showed me as a "creator" that it could help with many tasks to make my workflow better and faster.
For the first time in weeks, the horizon wasn’t pitch black. Instead, there was that deep navy blue glow creeping in. The kind that tells you winter is loosening its grip, even if only slightly.
