A Search for Wheels in Vietnam
When I first arrived in Vietnam in the late '90s, I quickly realized one essential truth—if you want to experience this country up close, you need wheels. The winding streets, bustling alleyways, and stretches of countryside called for a ride that could keep up with the pulse of Vietnam. "The second day I came to Vietnam, I realized I had to have wheels, and I thought the coolest one was an old Italian scooter." And just like that, my journey with vintage Vespas began.
An Unexpected Love for a Vintage Vespa
I didn’t set out to become a vintage Vespa enthusiast. But when I stumbled upon my first Vespa, something clicked. There was a charm to this scooter that felt perfectly in sync with the spirit of Vietnam—a bit rugged, a bit unpredictable, and undeniably cool. Riding that Vespa gave me a sense of freedom and connection to the place that no other vehicle could. It wasn’t just transportation; it became my way of experiencing Vietnam’s culture and immersing myself in its rhythm.
More Than Just a Ride
Discovering that first Vespa was like opening a door to a new world. It wasn’t just a scooter—it was an invitation to experience Vietnam in a way that was intimate and unfiltered. That Vespa became my companion on countless adventures, from city streets to hidden corners of the countryside. It was on that bike that I felt the real essence of Vietnam, a country that is vibrant, welcoming, and full of hidden stories waiting to be discovered.
