Vespa di Legno

Here's a great example of Old World craftsmanship meets modern technology. Or at least 20th century technology.

Carlos Alberti is a Portuguese carpenter who makes all sorts of things out of wood. But not just things like cabinets or coffee tables (although he does a fine job of that too). More relevant to our two-wheeling spirit, Carlos has created fully functional scooters and motorcycles made almost completely out of wood!

They not only look good- they really work.
