More of a car designer, but clearly a biker at heart:

More details:- the driver was in a focus that pulled out in front of Pininfarina's vespa:

" The driver of the car, 78-year-old Giuliano Salmi, was taken to hospital suffering from shock.

"I didn't see him, I was going slowly and I really didn't see him," Salmi said, according to local news agency Ansa. "

The classic old guy who pulls out without looking story...
