Vespa World Days 2011 Gjøvik May 18th-22nd.

Roughnecks Scooterclub participated on Vespa World Days 2011 in Gjøvik with record breaking 7 members and equally many scooters! We even managed to get coverage on both local radio as well as Norwegian television.

The tour to Gjøvik was divided into two days: First day we drove in constant rain from Stavanger - Røldal - Haukeli - Notodden where we teamed up with the Rivals, our sisterclub in Kristiansand. Next day we arrived Gjøvik after 6 hours drive.

Approximately 900 scooterists were present in Gjøvik, making it the largest National Vespa event ever!
