LOCAL TIME VESPA TOUR
STOPS AT IHOS.
Around the end of June I read a story about a photographer from New York that was getting ready to set off on a cross country journey to Vancouver B.C. on a Vespa Super 300, the fastest Vespa that Piaggio has ever produced. What caught my attention about this man, Clay Enos, was not necessarily that he was making a huge journey on a Vespa scooter.

Since Piaggio rolled their first scooter off the line in 1947 thousands of people have ridden hundreds of thousands of miles at a time on these amazing machines. What made this guy stand out to me was his motivation for the trip. He simply wanted to savor the beauty of this country and the people living in it at an easy pace on a reliable machine; enter the Vespa.

I sent Clay an e-mail as soon as I heard about his trip and offered to provide any support he needed on his journey. I didn't hear back from him until the first week of August when I got a call from the Piaggio corporate office informing us that Clay would be in Boise that day and he needed a headlight bulb. Apparently traversing 5,000+ miles of pot-holed country roads had taken a toll on the bulbs filament. We were stoked to help and no sooner did I say send him over did he roll into our parking lot grinning ear to ear, Clay Enos was here. I had no idea what kind of person Clay would be but I was happy to meet a genuinely good human being with a deep respect for his scooter and the people that had helped him along the way. There was no ego with Clay, only excitement and eagerness to spread the word about the merits of owning a Vespa.

In a months time Clay had become one of Piaggio's greatest advocates and made sure to tell me to pass his number along to anyone who was unsure of doing their daily commute on a scooter. This was not an empty offer and he made an authentic effort to make sure that I felt comfortable taking him up on it. I feel lucky that I got to be a tiny part of Clay's huge trip, but more so at the chance my girlfriend Georgia and I had to have dinner with him and learn about what he'd seen and where he was going next.

Clay got his motorcycle endorsement two days before he left the East Coast for the great Pacific Northwest. In fact, the time period from when he formed the idea to make this trip untill he hit the road was about three weeks. He struck me as a deeply intelligent guy that didn't complicate life by over thinking things to death. His passion for life and philosophies on living simply were infectious.

I spoke to Clay two days after he left Boise for Bend, Oregon. He called to say thanks for the help and when I appologized for not calling to check up on him he told me he was "an easy friend", that no matter where life would take us that the connection we made through these scooters was permanent. I believe he's right.
