It is indeed, Scooter was called 'Spiritwalker' and is regarded as one of, if not the, best custom scooter ever ... I saw it in the flesh a couple of times in the mid/late 80's it was stunning .... The owner Jeremy Howlett later owned 'Wake' which was a Mission/H.R Giger theme....

...his before Spiritwalker ..... a Siouxsie themed called Dazzle, which I adored.

There's a criminally low amount of photos around of these scoots because at the time most of us bought 2-stroke oil and Beer before camera film, lol... I'm pretty sure he had a vespa called 'a kiss in the dreamhouse' too but I can't find a picture of that.

lol.... Sadly it's been broken up since the early 90's as far as I know and I expect the frame is now something totally different/rotted away/written off, I did see the chaincase and a few other parts for sale on ebay about 10 years ago, they were in a sorry state and the guy wanted stupid money.
