    Broken scooter fairing? No probs!

    i saw this beast of a vespa outside my local trade centre, aparantly he'd busted the fairings, so made a good job with alloy plate and rivets...not suprisingly he's a mate of jeff thompson (who made the corrugated iron hq holden station wagon)

    Riveting.

    Not a Vespa though, not a single-sided fork.

    All Vespas have the single-sided fork, but it does look like a Piaggio motor, so it's a Vespa in the same way as an Audi is a VW.

    Nice work though.

    And using an old IE, cos all the rest of the browsers have a neat little zoom function. Fucking stupid rule, where my high res goodness at.

    Oh, and for the love of god Frdayflash, don't quote an oversize image, that's probably a double spanking
