VespaBabbo Vespa Club Rhine Switch Cologne

, , , ,

 The has been organizing since 2014 Vespa Club RheinSchalter Cologne the so-called Vespa Babbo. A tradition from Italy in which Vespisti dress up in Christmas outfits and with decorated Vespas to spread Christmas magic in cities and towns while also handing out small gifts and collecting donations for charitable causes.

This year the Cologne VespaBabbo took place for the 10th time. At the same time, this year's VespaBabbo anniversary heralds the club's anniversary in 2024. The Vespa Club Rhein Schalter was founded in 2014 by three friends on their way back through the Alps from the Vespa World Days in Mantova (IT) and now has around 100 members in Cologne and the surrounding area.

 For a donation there was a Christmas package consisting of a bag, chocolate lice, SC stickers and a ticket for the raffle. You had the chance to win one of 23 prizes, which were awarded by, among others Scooter Center, Cologne Industries, Cologne schnapps from jörg's wine shop and some club members were sponsored.

In addition, there were 3 special prizes awarded by the club's executive committee:
1. For the most beautifully decorated Vespa
2. For the most unusual costume.
3. For the best combination (best costume and most beautiful Vespa)

Most creative costume and best combination 

And since we sell accessories, we decided to stay true to that concept and dress up as Christmas accessories, which earned us the Best Costume award. ;)

This Vespa, which, judging by its license plate, came from Monschau, was the sensation of the whole event and understandably won the prize for the most beautifully decorated Vespa.

Christmas season with the Vespa for a good cause

The first Advent, or St. Nicholas' Day at the latest, is the official opening of the Christmas season. For a few years now there has been a new tradition and you can see many Santa Clauses on their Vespas on the streets. The rides are often for a good cause and are a perfect opportunity to disguise the scooters as reindeer and hit the popular Christmas markets.

We have received photos and invitations from various clubs, so we would like to report a little from our area:

Cologne

As in the case of the exit Rhine switch with her classic vespababbo. The 8th edition was canceled last Sunday due to the weather. Nevertheless, a few perplexed and Vespa freaks could meet (like me) did not hold back and still met and - despite the weather - drove through downtown Cologne to spread the joy of Christmas.

 

That’s how it is 1.000€ was received through donations that are handed over to the Cologne Community Foundation.

It's interesting that the guys built a Ciao tandem that we sponsored with parts.
