Vespamania: Josh The Collector | California, USA 🇺🇸

Welcome to #Vespamania: a look at some of the most passionate, extreme, and unusual Vespa enthusiasts all over the world. 🛵

In this episode, Josh Rogers takes us through his garage in San Jose, California and shows us some of the rarest and most off-beat Vespas ever made. After Josh purchased his first Vespa in the 1990s, he soon realized one scooter would never be enough. Now, as an avid Vespa collector, Josh's highly specialized collection highlights nearly each decade of the brand since its inception in 1946 and also includes an array of memorabilia including tin signs, pins, posters, tools, helmets, and even a Vespa tiki mug.

This is great, and Josh is an awesome guy. He works very hard for the VCOA. Thank you! Can’t wait to rally soon.

It’s a love affair. Adding a Racing 60’s in the Green come springtime. The fun part is most of the people I run into including hard core Harley guys can’t help smiling at them and liking them. I need more

I am rebuilding 1964 VBB 150cc. It’s all original and rough. It needs New floor boards. I’m buying a new one from SiP in Germany. Just cut out the old one. It also needs All new wiring and cables, new front fork with disc brake and converting 10” from 8” wheels. New Chrome everywhere. New badges and trim and chrome rims🤟🏿. At the moment I am thinking of keeping the original motor but modifying for a three port cylinder 188cc with a new crank and bearings and new intake with a smart carb. Mild hotrod but plenty of fun. I will finish it in Vespa Baby Blue with Bourbon leather seat. Tastefully done and lots of fun. My first Vespa was a 2005 150cc with 800 miles in perfect condition and love it. I rode it this morning to the gym. Keeping it stock. I love two strokes and how they sound. Clutch and gears for me is the only way to go. So fun. Thank you for sharing your collection, very nice. I will try to catch up with you😂. I have three daughters and I want them to ride with me soon.

Song "Fancy Like" by Walker Hayes mentions Vespa...I forgot what it was and had to Google it. Great song.

Holy sh*t he has a Vespa man that is a serious collection.

Awesome Josh! Didn’t know you got the 98. That Cushman GS is sweet. And the Ape (not sure if that’s the same one you had before). I picture Rolf “do you think that any of this impresses me?” Actually it probably would have!

[Sapandry]

Love your collection! Greeting from Indonesia! *Primavera user

I'm in Chico Ca.

Great video, just noticed the legshield banners. Royston Vasey and British Vespa Days in Wales. bought back memories of riding 5 hours in the rain on my PX125 and putting my tent up in the rain, Ha Ha. If you have any items for swap or sale I would be interested. Especially a Cog from USA

India was flooded with various variants of Vespa: Bajaj 150, Priya, Bajaj Super, Bajaj Chetak..
Indian company Bajaj even sold one of these variants to Italy itself!

Did Josh say “Honda GS” ? (Just after the 2:00 mark) 😂
