Vespa Scooter Cut with Oxyacetylene Torch. Thanks to my friend Dave for inviting me to the garage where he works repairing scooters for Scoot Richmond and teaching me how to use the cutting torch! This was a rusted out body that had been sitting on the repair shelf for a while. We returned it to the shelf to photograph and it's still there now! Here's a detail view:

You have GOT to now rebuild that bad boy and get it roadworthy!
Hell yeah! That's the baddest motor scooter on the planet. Grrrrrr!
bad ass!
aren't cutting torches a blast?
Awesome!
I love the ones that come out of left-field like this.
Fix it up, give it headlight eyes, and it would be the perfect ride for today's urban-hipster-metalhead.
From the first picture, I thought it was done using an airbrush, but then I read the description. You must have used a smoky setting to do the shadowing. Serious coolness, Noah! The teeth/mouth part is the icing on the cake.
I'm with Tim on fixing it up, with lights in the eye sockets. If the rest of the frame isn't salvageable, it should at least be displayed as the work of art it is. It would look really cool with the eyes backlit with a low-intensity EL panel.
a skully vespa. Talk about your absurdly opposite contradictions!
:)
Restoration is a great idea, or at least auction it off on the Skulladay eBay site.
Poor little scooter... I miss mine!
That looks SOOOOO CREEPY!!!
Finally my two interests merge! This would make a great installation outside of Scoot Richmond (excellent shop I've heard), but there is not enough frame integrety to make it road worthy again. I'm off to share this with my scooter groups!
