Now *that's* visibility!
Victor Voris of Seattle has at least 30 mirrors and 18 lights on his 2000 Vespa. He's not sure of the count; about 10 mirrors are under the seat.

I want to see a bicycle mod do this with about 10 helmet mounted Take-a-Look mirrors.

Was a mirror-festooned Vespa in a Fine Young Cannibals video at some point, or has age corrupted my memory already?
