Acquerello su cartoncino A4 Fantic Caballero 50cc
This is my version of the Fantic Caballero, that dirt bike that in the 80s made hearts beat and curbs jump — even if the pinnacle of enduro, for many, was getting off the sidewalk in front of the school without falling.
I painted it with respect and a bit of complicity: with that bright red frame that seems to say "oh, look, I'm here too!", the tank that still smells of the mix, and the yellow side plates like medals won on imaginary paths through the woods and roundabouts of the village.
It's a tribute to a time when a bowl helmet, a denim jacket and this bike were enough to feel invincible.
And maybe, for a moment, we really were.
