bitzz on GTAMotorcycle shared this my Vespa on the highway thread over there:
It's in Italian but if you click to watch it on youtube you can click the settings gear and the auto translate is pretty good. Here's the intro, translated:
The number one. How much is the number one, in your opinion? In my opinion, it depends on where we place this number one.
One day, a smile, a mistake, a scream, an emotion, a passion, a year, a month, a day, a minute, a second, a point. How much is the number one worth? Well, it's worth as much as the wild and fierce determination we put into pursuing our dreams, it's worth one last effort at the finish line, just as much as the entire year that led us to that suspended moment in time and space. That fleeting moment that has its roots in the instant when you look at that trophy and say, "Next year, my name will be on it."
The curtain rises on the Varano stage because our heroes are ready to take the spotlight. This is the story of how a single point determined the outcome of a season where no rider has ever won twice. This is the story of the grand finale, ladies and gentlemen, of the National Scooter Trophy's last dance.
It's not the easiest to follow but it's cool seeing what these guys can do, if you're into racing and if you're into scooters, you might like it.

Just realized there was a part 1 to this video, which is here. Still watching it but seems to give a little more background to these guys... which in hindsight would probably make the video previously posted a little easier to follow. Oops

Sure looks like fun! Thanks for sharing. If you're going to hang off your Vespa I highly recommend a Corbin saddle upholstered with their sitcky Asphalt vinyl. It grips your leathers, much more secure than the stock saddle.
