Although it was early, the entry parking lot was filling fast with fans filing in from all over the world. The Fiat 500 Club had a whole display of cars there but this Piaggio Ape, typically 50cc's, had a mid 90's 900SS grafted on the back for power and was stealing the show. In Italy, Ape's are used for everything but are most famous because Valentino Rossi drove a hopped up one for years. This one would make even the Doctor jealous!
