Scooters of Paris
While the AmeriVespa rally was a huge draw this past fourth of July weekend, I couldn't wait to leave for my long overdue vacation to Paris!

We visited all the dealerships on the Champs Elysees, and all the cool accessory shops around the Bastille.
We purposely packed light and filled up an empty duffle bag of great accessories you just can't buy here in the US.
Scooters and motorcycles of every brand and size rule the streets of Paris, two strokes, maxi scooters, and rat bikes cram themselves through choked traffic, lane splitting is taken to new heights, and you can park just about anywhere.
Scrapes and scratches are de riguer.
Riders are not pigeonholed either, young and old, pizza delivery, messengers, and business women in heels.
It's heaven!
