Ok, it’s not as big as the MP3′s winter getup… but if you are looking at the shield to scooter ratio… it’s MASSIVE!
This shot is shared by makototaipei and was taken about 5 years ago in Taipei, Taiwan.
It looks like someone just screwed a riot shield on the front of their Vespa.

The bottom part looks like it is made from clear, flexible vinyl and the top section looks like a door off of some kind of appliance like a washing machine.

Makoto Watanabe’s juicy photos are some of the most interesting yet if you could look beyond this “large windshield”. Thanks, Steve!

That is so wrong.
Does the rider have to stand up to see the road?

Are there giants in Taiwan? Visualizing now: “Yao Ming on a scooter.”

HEHE! Tim, you’re right. I was thinking a small washing machine too.
Lorenzo! I’ll check out the rest of them today. This particular photo caught my eye like a train wreck and I couldn’t look past it.
Fat Tony & SCGT!
I couldn’t figure out what was up with the height either. Maybe when you’re riding, the height helps rain to pass over your head? I dunno.
