I like it!
but then again... it won't carry anymore kids than the XS will... so won't do us much good...
Now I could see our Dear prometheus on one of GNEPIG's offerings... scooter with attitude... I don't think it would go well with the bows though...

"Well, I like the part about the recoiless rifle..."
Never know when some guy in traffic will bring out my "road rage".
But... this would be great for picking up women, too.
I see from the second photo, that you're actually sitting on the barrel....
I would paint the barrel flesh colored...
Boy, the women at the traffic light would really notice me then.
Sitting there, "large fleshy tube" sticking out between my legs and protruding through the fairing....
(HHmmm... having that tube sticking out the rear... don't know if I like the implications of that. Some of those sexually confused males might get the wrong idea.)
I suppose, I could paint that part brown."Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)Comment

Where can I have been?
That this string got to 7 replies before I saw it? So all the denigration & mockery has been done already although all of it at Prom (who must have owned a scooter?) & none of it at me (despite my sidecar obsession). The wise have said:- "You can tell how neat a thing is by how much others mock it." But those recoilless-armed Vespas have severe in-use limitations.
"Recoilless" is only in comparison with a closed-breech field-piece.
There seems to be no elevation adjustment.
And anyone less than 25 yards behind the weapon is gonna get fried by the backblast.Fred Hill, S'toon

But Fred, If PROM is using his gun, and firing on a SUV that just about did him in, he doesn't CARE about the guy behind him!
And we KNOW the color is wrong on the first unit. It would NEED to be orange to be one of your machines!Ray Matteis

Cool tube
Fredintoon, Prom will do wheelies to get elevation on the gun. I was thinking that the exhaust will melt the windshield of the truck or squad car behind you!! But then if you are in a RAGE, it won't matter who is behind you, you have all you can do to dodge the debris of the SUV you just killed!J.D."Jack" Smith
