Three Vespas And The Truth
I love a good Vespa adventure (check out one of our very first blog posts Vespa X RVCA), and a Vespa adventure on a mission to help stop global warming is even better. Vespa has teamed up with Green Peace, and several musicians to embark on what is known as The Vespa Experiment:
“MUSIC. GREENPEACE. VESPA. STOP GLOBAL WARMING. In the midst of these deeply troubling times, every day people are joining forces to make a real and positive difference in the world. We have reached a critical “tipping” point. Our thoughts, choices and actions impact the world directly every minute of every day. We cannot satiate every impulse, satisfy every craving and at the same time pretend we are working towards world peace or saving the earth. The time to do something is NOW.
THE VESPA EXPERIMENT’S primary mission is to help stop global warming by using the power of music to make people look inwards at themselves and change their behavior. Jason Reeves, Brendan James and Amber Rubarth are teaming up with Greenpeace and leading by example as they trade a tour bus for fuel efficient and environmentally friendly Vespa Scooters, and hotels for campgrounds. For two weeks they will live simply and engage their fans in thought-provoking ways, through music and honest dialog as they seek to change the world together.”
Sounds like a FUN time for a great cause. You can view additional details at The Vespa Experiments Myspace page (does anyone even go to Myspace anymore?), and there is a press release on Vespas website. Click the links to check it out.
BTW, I am really digging the poster for The Vespa Experiment. I would love to be sitting on that bluff on either a new GTV 250, a GTS 250, and new GTS 300 Super. Can you see yourself there? Vespa Lexington can make it happen!

But they’re taking two weeks to go 470 miles. AND it looks like they are travelling with a support truck/van.
So, before, a touring band would travel in a van with 5 people in it and get 16MPG. Now you have 4 people driving 4 separate vehicles = all the oil and water resources to manufacture those individual vehicles.
I understand and applaud the effort, but it seems a bit ill-conceived and not very thought through.

It definitely would be a lot more interesting and “blog worthy” if they had all 4 people riding one Vespa with their gear in a side car.
