Watch out Vespa--there's a MADASS out there!

Our visiting Aussie buddy, Zee told me about the Madass scooter tonight. I thought I saw something like it at Scuderia last weekend but might be wrong. Anyhoo, this 50cc wonder wheelies and does burnouts like crazy. I think DQ may have a new toy here. Check it out!

The all black one is slick

The vid is stirring up memories of a certain cold New Year's day ride.

The black one does look cool!

But I'll stick with my Vespa GTS. I really don't need another bike.

Strange because it shows up just fine on my Mac. Try Rob's suggestion.

The following vid is about how the Madass has taken off in Milwaukee, of all places.

A guy who works in the office across from me has one. It looks weird. He stopped riding it about 6 mos. ago and is now on a motorized razor of some sort. He has ALL the toys.

Yeah, I saw one in Portland and thought it looked great. You could ride that thing WFO up Tam, like a videogame. Sweet.

Actually the 125cc sounds pretty nice
