My 1959 Vespa 400 (1600cc) does 60-75 mph sustained on I-5 heading South no problem. 1st real highway outing and shake down cruise to early Sat. morning "Cars and Coffee" at Bridgeport mall in Tigard. The I-5 freeway is delightful @ 7 am with no other traffic. I'm wearing my Gath watersport helmet as safety precaution. Got blown out my lane by a "Big Rig" over the Fremont Bridge night prior. Put 200 test miles on car this weekend after re-engineering front suspension, trying to make it a daily driver. Clutch cable snapped on the way home and drivers door wing window fell out. Dang!
