Vespa Winter Rally Camping

Vespa at Elefantentreffen 2015

On the 30th of June 2018 I stood at the “Kilometro 0” in Madrid and started the biggest adventure of my entire life. Surrounded by friends and a group of spanish scooterists I rolled out of the city to surround the planet in 80 days like in the world famous book written by Jules Verne! I covered a riding distance of 27.113 Kilometers in 18 countries on 3 continents with one scooter/continent to save air freight.
Additionally I had to cross the Caspian Sea and the Chinese Sea by Ferry and fly from Asia to North America and to Europe again from there after crossing the USA. Landed in Amsterdam I had to ride 45 minutes by train to pick up my Scooter in Utrecht again and ride it to the finish line in Madrid. I crossed the spanish border on day 76 and would have been able to finish that day but waited, participated on the first national vespa rally of spain in 30 years and finally finished on the 17th of September after
exactly 80 days
