I did a quick run through the thread and it didn't look like we had a pic of one of the most famous Hollywood-Vespa pairings, 1953's "Roman Holiday:"

Very nice, but where are her riding leathers and her thigh high biking boots...safety first, ya know?

Nobody wears leather on a Vespa.

I'm not sure I would ride with that guy. He just doesn't appear to be too tightly wrapped?

A "Howard Wolowitz" restoration project. He prefers a pristine fire engine red second skin for his scooters! LOL.

I'll bet he loses that hat bowler when he takes off. He is badly in need of a chin-strap! LOL.

"A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away..."when our grandsons began to show undue interest in my Harley Davidson I decided to retire the hobby and the bike I considered flushing the gas tank, draining the fluids and using the bike as a static display in the man cave. However, it was pointed out to me that my plans would not serve to dissuade the grandsons interest in motorcycles, so I sold the bike. Alas, it would appear that someone (whoever took the picture above) is living my dream, displaying their Iron Horse in the house! LOL.

Indeed, a modern day Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula (and his gang of desperado's), riding at a gallop across the local desert! LOL.
