LITTLE BEES

These funny little 3-wheelers are Ape's, which is italian for Bee, because of the buzzing noise they make. They are used for loads of different jobs as they can come and park anywhere in the narrow streets. Ape's are provided with a two-stroke 50 cc to a max 400cc engine and steer with a scooter-style handlebar. I shot these pics in several villages all over the island.

ITALY: THE PAST & TODAY

Back from a 3 weeks holiday on brilliant Sardinia, Italy. I' ve roamed the little streets looking for motorismo. The island is mostly provided with 90s and 00s 'Tupperware' machines, but now and then my heart opened up as an old school wheeler showed up!
