I was tip-toeing through the TopSpeed.com blog (see title link) and found this video. I think it does a great job of illustrating the following:
Bat out of Hell
Raped Ape
Scalded Dog
Going like the Clappers
He’s definitely not riding this road for the scenery.

I wanna see the outtakes.

That guy can drive the hell out of that scooter. I thought he was going to eat it and he just kept going. That is what I call “scooter drifting”. What kind of facking motor is in that thing anyway? It must have every upgrade you can imagine to get that powerful!

Bat out of hell- yup! But that guy has nothing for scooter drifting on my little brother Tim & I on his old Allstate. We used to flattrack aound the yard and driveway for hours at a time.
And somebody needs to teach that dude about corner apexes as well!

I’m pretty sure that’s a hill climb race track in the UK, I recognise it from several episodes of Top Gear/Fifth Gear (depending on what channel you watch it on).
It is probably a hil climb event which is why there’s no other traffic and he doesn’t have to be concerned about oncoming traffic.

WOW!
This is the hell’s vespa!

That was pretty cool except I wish they would have shot that when the chain saw had stopped…
*grin*
He was moving like a bat out of hell.

Tim, check out the pics half way down this page: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v333/nrmccord/Old%20cars%20and%20motorcycles/
That’s brother Tim. It was his scooter and my camera!

Awesome pictures. I really like the 305 Dream. One of the guys in my scooter club has one of those but his is blue. Such a beautiful bike!
14. August 2008 at 4:18 am
Tim, that Dream was my first bike and I loved it. Sooner or later I’ll have another!

That guy has horrible lines. He’s all over the place.
If he wants to back it in, he should just get it over with and get a supermoto.

Although I don’t suggest riding like that in public roads, that dude’s got mad skills.

ha…man, don’t I love those 50cc’s! Back in the days when I was in Taiwan there were PLENTY of modded 50cc’s like this(though NOT Vespa), and it was CRAZY! But, fun to watch!
now-a-days kids are modding 100′s and 150′s…
