http://justinsomnia.org/2008/04/mysterious-black-and-white-vespa-photo/ asks Hoosgot,
I have a lazyweb question for the internets. Does anyone know anything about this photo? Like who took it? Where? When? Who’s riding the #90 scooter up a dirt road on the side of a mountain? What type of scooter is that? What does the writing on the photo say? What language […]
