Looks like they’re low emission zones (any that might be relevant for your drive). Tap on the “more” link here to see the full list.

Interestingly, Claude’s more of a practical optimist about the whole thing
Question posed to Claude, an LLM: Is it a crazy idea to do a road trip from Rome to Munich on a Vespa Answer: It’s definitely an adventurous idea rather than a crazy one! Vespa road trips have a romantic appeal and many people have done epic journeys on scooters. The Rome to Munich route would be roughly 800-900 miles through some beautiful Alpine scenery. Here are the main considerations: **The realistic aspects:** - Modern Vespas (especially 300cc+ models) can handle highway speeds and longer distances - The route through northern Italy, Switzerland, and into Bavaria is stunning - Plenty of places to stop, refuel, and rest along the way - It’s been done before by other riders **The challenges:** - Takes significantly longer than a car (probably 3-4 days minimum with stops) - Weather exposure, especially crossing the Alps - Limited storage space for luggage - Potentially expensive tolls and fuel stops - Physical fatigue from long riding days - Mountain passes can be demanding on smaller engines **Sweet spots for success:** - Late spring through early fall for weather - A 250cc+ Vespa for better highway capability - Planning shorter daily distances (200-300 miles max) - Proper gear for weather and safety - Flexible timeline in case of delays If you’re an experienced rider who enjoys the journey as much as the destination, it could be an incredible trip. The key is realistic planning and embracing the slower pace as part of the adventure rather than seeing it as a limitation. Have you ridden long distances on a Vespa before?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ See previous image for full text See previous image for full text

To quote a random redditor:
Comment by Verreaux on Reddit: This album is funky fresh vibes. Totally different direction for him with all the electric guitar solos, BASS, and variety of genre blending. Lilliputian Chop and Analógico Brasil are a 1-2 punch alone!!! So excited to see him next month.
