Wooden you like a wooden Vespa?

Fashioned out of laminated hardwood by Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto, this scooter is based on a vintage Vespa that had fallen into complete disrepair. A new body was constructed out of steam bent veneers and carved wood. Even the seat is wood. Beware of splinters, and knock on wood that the frame is insulated from the engine when you're going 50 mph.

I don't know what kind of padding wood offers, but my hiney doesn't like the look of this Vespa.

It's lovely, but it's more art than transportation. Now, if you're looking for a real bike (and have a spare ($70,000 lying around)... http://snipurl.com/bmqvk [www_psfk_com]
