Don's 2024 Vespa GTS 300
"Uovo"

Don’s scooter, Uovo, is built for the long haul—just like the warriors of legend who rode into battle with strength and determination. He’ll be riding a 2024 Vespa GTS 300, a modern classic that blends iconic Italian design with highway-ready performance. It’s the biggest engine size allowed in the Scooter Cannonball, and while the handicap numbers aren’t exactly in his favor, the ride itself is what matters.

โ€‹

The GTS 300 is a true road warrior—with a smooth, fuel-injected engine, ABS brakes, and a rock-solid frame, it’s built for comfort over competition. While scooters of this size rarely win due to the engine specs and year, Uovo is about tackling the 3,800-mile journey with confidence, style, and endurance.

 

But this ride is about more than just miles. Uovo is riding for a cause—raising awareness and funds for pulmonary fibrosis through The Valhalla Fund. Every twist of the throttle helps push the mission forward. This journey isn’t just about reaching the finish line—it’s about making a difference.

 

Why "Uovo"?

In Italian, "Uovo" means "egg"—a fitting name for this white, roundish Vespa with a sleek and elegant design. Just like an egg, it may look smooth and simple on the outside, but inside, it’s built strong, packed with energy, and ready to take on the road ahead. Whether it’s carving through back roads or hammering down highways, Uovo is here to prove that sometimes, the most unassuming machines are the toughest of them all.
