This year thousands turn out for the World Vespa meeting in Norway to pay annual homage to the most glamorous scooter of the past 65 years.
From Thursday 19th May to Sunday 22nd May a large number of fans and brightly coloured Vespas gathered in the town Gjøvik to celebrate Vespa, the scooter-legend!
Highlights over the weekend included excursions, a grand parade and a Vespa acrobatic show. Like last year clubs entered the Vespa Trophy, collecting stamps from dealers on route to the event, with the club with the most stamps winning the prize, this year Club Vespan e Salam took the victory.
150 Vespa Clubs, 20 countries, more than 1000 Vespas and a crowd of Vespa enthusiasts joined at Gjøvik from all over the world!
The Norwegian edition of Vespa World Days confirms the fifth consecutive success of an event which involves all Vespa Clubs of the world. The next World Days will be in London in 2012!
