Yours Truly in Mark Crowson's tuned and lightened 'QuickaQuasar' at the Bentley Museum during the 2010 Quasar & FF gathering in Hastings and East Sussex. This photo shows the benefit of Mark having raised the roof of this Quasar – there's no way I would have been able to sit up this straight in a standard Quasar wearing a helmet. The other machine is a Benelli Adiva, with the clever 'targa top' roof design which could be folded into the boot. It was made in both 125 and 150cc versions, both fitted with Piaggio's rather underpowered air-cooled Vespa engines. PNB
