Hey Donna,
Fab photos and report.

The cops in Italy like scooters too ......... here's a couple of snaps I took in 08 when I strayed over the border whilst we were on holiday in Antibes........

Take care and say hi to Gary.

Wow what shots!

Great share! Thank you...

Scooters are great, and largely underrated here in the US. 3 of them in my garage right now....haven't been "scooterless" since 1996.

Great shots, thanks again.

Great photos and very interesting scooters, the one with the canopy and the police scooters with the 3 foot windscreens especially.

I guess since American cops are riding T3's and Segways, there's not much to say about this...

Not wishing to steak anyone's thunder, but here's a few more ...........these were all taken in Antibes in the South of France in 09..............

And my personal favourite bike photo, taken in the small village of Biot just a few kilometres north of Antibes in 2008...........

God I miss riding!!

I love the mini bike in the next to last pic, Steve!!

Hey Donna, those are some great shots! You really have an eye for composition! It looks
like a very interesting corner of the world to visit. It'd definately be fun on a small bike!
I enjoyed your photos very much!!
