The Italian Scallion
I have been unambiguously asked to show some "hotties" from the Milan Bike Show. Screw political correctness. So here it goes, folks
Yep, there were lots of pretty ladies --- some were sophisticated and aloof, others just like the girl next door (you wish) in a miniskirt. Ah, yes...I saw some motorbikes, too.
Honda was the only manufacturer thinking outside the box (
you'll forgive the pun) and introducing a degree of equality in its presentation. On a rotating platform they placed a bike and two models (male and female). I am sorry to admit, when the guy took a cigarette break outside, several men persuaded him not to return to the stand We like our motorbike shows sexist!
So this is the Honda platform after the brief altercation...(the guy's OK, just a few bruises)
Yamaha had a group of friendly ladies man her stand. Here is a leggy young thing standing guard to a motorbike. What bike, I haven't got a clue.
I then moved to Suzuki's enclosure, where a mean-looking muscle bike, the B-King, slowly spun on its pedestal.
Next to the wicked Suzi, a well-dressed lady was claiming some attention.
A while later, an unfortunate misunderstanding took place at the Derbi stand. Not being too familiar with the Spanish manufacturer's production I had no idea what size motor this bike was sporting... I probably brought my bifocals a bit too close to it and was promptly accosted by two large guys who escorted me out.
I then decided to hit the Italian manufacturers area and paid a visit to MV-Agusta's stand. There I saw two pretty young things (barely out of the jail-bait segment) being totally ignored by dozens of men.
At the Ducati stand, a leather-clad lady was proudly straddling the new 1098, again totally ignored by the male public.
At the Bimota stand, no female models were gracing the notoriously innovative motorbikes. There I saw my first "Delirio" scoot, not terribly original I have to say (rather a mixture of MV Brutale and Cagiva Raptor) and I found the name strangely fitting.
I then moved over to the BMW stand where two attractive ladies were looking positively miffed at the lack of attention they were getting -- not even by sitting on the world's most powerful naked bike.
And just before leaving the show I got this bright smile from the young lady standing guard to Piaggio's hideous three-wheeled scooter, the MP3.
I hope you enjoyed this pretty slanted report as much as I did, bros
