When you’re about to go on a trip with a vespa and cover many kilometres, the first person you turn to for support and reliability is your mechanic. That’s why one day I went to Stefano’s garage to show him my project. I wasn’t even done talking, that he had already started the engine, taken side coverings out and started tuning the vespa.

At the Honda Center I got all dressed up for rain and cold weather instead. Seeing my open helmet, which I use to go everywhere, they must have felt sorry because they gave me a larger visor right away.
