Luciano Marabese died today, at 68.

Sad...and at 68, way too young to check out.   

Also, designer of the fabled V10 Centauro for Moto Guzzi's 75th Anniversary back in the day. 

R.I.P. Luciano...and Godspeed...

It certainly *is* too young. RIP, sir, and may your legacy endure.

[bad Chad]

I believe his studio did the Griso and Breva as well.

[ohiorider]

RIP.  He certainly had an eye for beauty.

Was he a lifetime smoker?  That seems to be the pattern.   I'm 1 of the few who didn't take up smoking of my generation.  I've heard smoking is still more prevalent in Europe than here.

Like you AW I never started smoking, but my observation is that in the UK smokers are becoming pariahs but many are moving to "E-cigs"

However, across mainland Europe it appears to be perfectly acceptable to smoke

Bloody Brexit 

Back on topic, Marabase looks like an interesting and innovative bloke - I see he developed the 3 wheel Piaggio MP3 as well as one of the best looking bikes on the planet - Centauro

The Chinese out-smoke all smokers.

The centauro gets attention where ever I take it.  It has aged well and looks fairly current by today's standards.

Then I own 2 of his MP3s.    Truly unique vehicles that are the cat's meow.
