Usually this time of year traffic eases up as families go back to school and Europeans show up by plane. But the Overseas Highway continues crowded and slow.
My Vespa 150 is proving to be a stalwart commute vehicle surprising manly men in large pick ups as they try to pull away from the hairy old hobbit on a moped. ,
I have come to terms with the less is more theme of the small scooter on the straight highway and its a great way to commute.
Low cost but easy to ride and with a surprising turn of speed on level ground.
I'm surprised how effective a 150 cc scooter can be on a 55 mph highway.
And fun.

Since my 7 years in Geneva getting around on my 280 cc Honda scooter, I really never want to go back to commuting by car. We're planning to relocate to Los Angeles in January and for sure there also I will get around by scooter. Quick, unlimited parking, very fuel efficient and cheap all around. Just have to watch out for the other traffic ...
Ride confidently and they will leave you alone. Ride fearfully or hold up traffic and you will make Americans crazy. Good luck with LA, lovely in parts and not in others.
