Vespa rally badge from 1954

Happy day! I just got this one delievered by mail (old fashioned snail mail). A friend of mine from up north told me that he had an old Vespa badge from a rally. I met him in his home this summer, but he couldn't find it during my visit. But he promised to send it to me as soon as it showed up.
I've been waiting and waiting...thanx a million!
Right now I don't know so much about "Rally de Stockholm 1954", organised by Vespa Club Sverige. But I will found out.
The circumference is about five centimeters or two inches.

Questa emblema ha arrivata oggi!

Cool Vespa rider in Pisa

Even the coolest cat in Italy wears a helmet today. On my first visit to Italy twenty years ago, no one riding a Vespa had head protection. The guy on the smallframe is riding in the old parts of Pisa, near the leaning tower. We were enjoing an espresso doppio and a gelato when he hurried past.
The condition and style of the Vespa 125 indicates that it's not only a commuter vehicle. Maybe a member of the Vespa Club Pisa? A club who started as early as 1949.

The scooter premiere in Stockholm was covered by lots of photographers. One was Fia-Lotta, check her pics, who happened to capture another cool cat. I didn't colour match the old helmet with the Vespa 125 U, the one guilty is the former owner who obviously had some blue paint left after spraying the "utilitaria".
Now? The Vespa World Days 2011 in Gjövik, Norway, is not far away...
