Rocket rider contest image

author comments:
This is the 2050 model 10000HP Vespa. No seat provided, it's just squat and hang on. Ideal for that quick run to the shops for bread and milk (but bring a backpack).
Please view in high resolution for full detail. I hope you enjoy viewing the image as much as I enjoyed making it.
