One Vespa. 13,500km. Every single day of the 2025-26 Australia Vs England Ashes Series. And for the record, Baz Ball was replaced by Trav Ball for a 4-1 series win to the Aussies.

Meet Scott, riding his 2022 Vespa GTS 300 Super (aka Vanesspa ๐Ÿงก) around the entire country to catch every Test of the Ashes. But this isn't just a bucket-list ride story.

Scott opens up about a mental health breakdown that landed him in ICU, and how getting on a scooter became the mindfulness practice nothing else could give him.

๐Ÿ๏ธ In this video:
- Vespa GTS 300 Super review from someone who's actually lived on it
- Solo motorcycle touring Australia, outback roads, mountain routes, coastal runs
- Mental health, motorcycling and mindfulness on two wheels
- The Ashes road trip like you've never seen it
- Why scooters deserve way more respect on Aussie roads

Let us know in the comments, would you do this on a Vespa?

We'll see you next time. Bye for now.
