"Pope-mobiles R us" on Jln. Majapahit. Lovely young man, Wayan, I think, who now has his own business (possibly funded by Baldie but not to worry"). He takes old Vespas and modifying those little glass cake displays that you can see on the back of bikes and motorcycles creates little cutsie wutsie pope-mobiles to fit one two or five people.
He gets much of his stock from Java but is beginning to be well known and now gets quite a few young Indonesian men whose grandmothers have died selling, reluctantly, their much loved bikes given to them by Aunties and occasionally Uncles in Adelaide.
He is currently exploring the possibility of offering a bullet proof glass upgrade.
They are a lot more streamline than the original because he does not have to allow for the popes fancy hat in his specs and due to the extra length for passengers you have the option of selling cakes from the back as long as you leave one passenger and the dog at home.
Enjoy!!!
