It's an easy mistake to make...

And that red thing is a DAX, not a scooter. Still kinda popular over here, but no grown ups riding that thing though, mostly youth

Very wise, this scooter fad.

Since nobody else mentioned the old saying:

Fat chicks and mopeds... both fun to ride til your friends catch you on them.

Vespa 150 TAP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vespa 150 TAP
The Vespa 150 TAP is an Italian Vespa scooter equipped with a M20 75 mm recoilless rifle, which was used in the 1950s by the French Airborne Forces (Troupes aéroportées, or TAP). It was produced by Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Automobiles (ACMA), a licensed assembler of Vespas in France, in 1956 and 1959.

Its mounted M20, a U.S.-made light anti-armour cannon, could be fired from the shoulder but still penetrate 100 mm or armour. The recoil is counteracted by venting propellant gases out the rear of the weapon which eliminated the need for a mechanical recoil system or heavy mounts, enabling the weapon to be fired from the Vespa frame.

The scooters would be parachute-dropped in pairs, accompanied by a two-man team. The gun was carried on one scooter, while the ammunition was loaded on the other. Due to the lack of recoil, the weapon could be fired effectively by experienced gun crews while the scooter was underway.

The "Bazooka Vespa" was relatively cheap: Vespas cost roughly $500 at the time, and the M20s were plentiful. Roughly 800 of these scooters were deployed in the Algerian war.
