They say Vespa isn't just a scooter but a lifestyle. The humble machines today demand a cult status and the older they are, the more valuable they become. But unlike other motorheads, Vespa owners don't shy away from rideing them or showing them off. So every year, Vespa clubs across the globe join in to become a part of Vespa World Days, a celebration of all things Vespa. This year Vespa clubs from 37 countries took part in the event and thousand of these scoots, new and old, modified and standard joined the parade.
