Have you had the Vespa out much since it's rebirth?

I have hooned too and from work on it a few times. It took a little getting used to the lightness after riding the Trumpet for so long, and jesus is it fast! If you're not careful in 2nd gear you'll slide right off the back of the seat when you open the throttle. It's also ludicrously loud. I'm not sure if I like that, and I'm no fan of a quiet bike. I guess the big carbon can is for show only and contains nothing to muffle the sound.

^not a fan of the splitter.

But I'll throw a few zimmers into the ring.

^ Magnets?

That's an Evo 1 with a Halfrauds after-market add on splitter and Max Power mirrors...

That's a little unkind. It's a bit more interesting than that.
I'd lap it, but I wouldn't give anyone $50k for it.

Didn't realise the time machine Doc Brown invented in Blade Runner was based on a Polo

Wesley Snipes was agoraphobic, so they had to use a small car.

Wesley snipes was great in blade runner

Replicant

He was good as Morbo in The Matrix too

"I WILL DESTROY YOU!" Morbo?

I thought he was in The Simpsons? You know, that TV show with the alien and the talking fish and the main guy works at the spy agency that his mother owns.
