    Default So whose here are into Scooters

    Here are some of my collections...







    I am restoring the red one (Vespa VBB) over the winter..Still got the paper work from Italy. The Piaggio x9 (silver) does over 100mph...And the Stella (silver) is getting ready to have a side car mounted.

    I have an Aprilia Rally 50cc scoot. I have modded it quite a bit. 70cc big bore kit,21mm carb,race filter, race pipe,variator,springs,rollers,kevlar belt... I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Here is a representative pic that looks just like mine.

    Yes I did. I can not stand to pay someone to do something I can figure out myself. Even if I do have a few extra parts when I'm done. But yeah, It's not really that hard. The hardest part is tunning a damn 2 stroke. It's not like I can pop a wideband in there and go.

    My 50cc will hit 65mph easy. That plenty good enough for around town here. Most speed limits in town are 25-45 depending on where I'm at. And the 90+mpg is great.

    , since when do speedlimits determine how fast people drive in Atlanta?
    How long does it take you to get to 65 mph?

    I don't live in Atlanta and I can hit 65 mph about as fast as most stock Hondas, so not very fast.:idb:

    Sti and Evo's are both good cars...I went with EVO because it was easier for me to work on comparing to the STI..I got the MR so their tranny is new, can't really say if they break easier than the STI..Any tranny will break if you abuse them enough. The EVO comes with 10k yr and 100k miles waranty.

    You got the MR? Correct me if I'm wrong but you paid 10k more for like 9 more hp and shave a few lb?

    Its 4500...
    1. Alunimum Roof (although RS has them)
    2. Blistein suspension (I guess a lot peple ended up upgrading to coilo overs)
    3. 6 speed tranny..(I guess you can buy one from a wreck MR and put it in.)
    4. Rear Difusers (you can get the replica off ebay for like 100 bucks I guess) and badges to make it looks like a MR..


    But I would rather spend the money and get the top dog EVO...

    I think Ive figured it out. Are you like a 12 year old kid who's taking pics of daddy's cars in the garage? That would explain the "boy" part in "riceboy..." I wouldnt expect a man to refer to themself as "boy." That would also explain the scooter obsession and grade-school level communication skills. Also, your propensity for large fonts, combined with your terrible grammar, make it pretty damn hard to read your pseudo-English, jibberish-like posts... So no, I didnt read your other posts to someone else
    But your lack of reasonable response told me all I need to know
    Have fun with your toys. :jerkit:

    You can drag a knee on just about anything except a bicycle on level terrain.

    Your question should be, 'Why *would* you drag a knee on a scooter?'

    Nice..we have another DUMBAZZ here who refers his 2005 EVO MR as a EVO IX (9)...When in reality EVO IX doesn't come out till 2006...Maybe you EVO IX feels slow because it doesn't have MIVEC..OH wait your evo doesn't have that does it because IT AIN'T NO FUCKING EVO IX.
