Lagoon Hotrod

Yes, this is harking back to 2018, but it's such a lovely shot that I felt empowered to use it for a Blip on another dank day.  I took it from the vaporetto between Venice and Murano, as we poddled along in the slow lane and this machine charged past us.

These things must cost a fair bit to ride in, but they are extraordinarily well kept, in looks at least.  I'd be willing to bet that their engines were not the most economical, or that the drivers were not particularly sparing of the gas pedal (as my driving instructor used to call it), but they have huge dollops of style and panache – to my simple mind.
