Hello fellow scooteristas
Hi,
My name is Lola, and I ride a Vespa LX150. I am a filmmaker and videographer, and I am getting ready to take a trip to South America on a Vespa. I am looking for advice on the Vespa and equipment that I need to take along. I have done a lot of 200 or 300 mile trips on my Vespa, but this one will be a lot longer. Lola

You certainly have chosen a fine machine to do it with. Do be careful if you do it alone. I am certain it will be a cool movie.

The best thing you can do from a safety, language, culture, photography, writing, and joie de vivre standpoint is to take me. (I'm actually serious, I think.) I've done some long trips, too.
If not me, then take a Pit Posse tire repair kit, available on Amazon. Also (from experience in Honduras), malaria pills. Take Motorcycle Diaries - written when Che Guevara was still an agreeable chap - and get a good dose of Cartier-Bresson before you go. Good luck.
