My initial idea is to ride my 1972 Vespa 125cc Primavera from home in Caerwys, North Wales down through France to my cousin Ingrid's home in Portovenere in Italy, in the Cinque Terra between Genova and Pisa during the summer of 2008.
The Vespa is the simplest of machines, with no battery, no mirrors, no indicators, a simple kick start, four gears, no luggage capacity at all. Flat out we are talking about 80KPH.
As you can imagine, this should prove to be the ideal machine for a journey of 1200 miles through England, France, over the Alps and down into Italy.
If I can manage 150 miles a day, then 8 - 10 days traveling should get me there.
