Vespa Club Rusty Helmets - Riding a Vespa for your heart's desire

In addition to the passion for Vespas from VC Rusty Helmets social commitment is also close to their hearts. The event was held under the motto "Riding a Vespa for heart's desires", as donations were collected for the association Herzenswünsche e.V.
Paolo tells us a little about this wonderful meeting.

The Vespa meeting in Butzbach on July 12 thrilled riders and visitors alike. In the morning, a corso starts over hilly, winding roads in the surrounding area. Drone footage shows the Vespa pilots impressively winding their way through the serpentines like a long queue. Even guests from up to 300 kilometers away - including from Hanover and Stuttgart - take part. Each driver receives souvenir photos at several photo points, resulting in a large number of impressive photos of the ride.

In the early afternoon, the market square in Butzbach fills up with people and Vespas: over 150 riders and hundreds of visitors celebrate together. Live Italian music creates a southern flair, while the raffle provides fun and excitement.

The most important thing: 1,000 euros are raised for the association Herzenswünsche e.V. an amount that, together with a further €9,000 raised by companies and private donors, will fulfill the special wishes of seriously ill children.

The Rusty Helmets Vespa Club is continuing its commitment: the next meeting is already scheduled for September 7, 2025 in Haiger, again in conjunction with a fundraising campaign for the Herzenswünsche association from Münster.

Special thanks go to the Scooter Center. The red scarves donated at the end of the event dominate the marketplace - Scooter-Center red shines everywhere and underlines the strong cohesion of the community.
