    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?

    LOL, look whos talking, Mr I-cant-form-a-complete-sentence-in-English (Not only you havea a pea brain,) or even punctuate properly.
    OK...I made a typo (11 mpG, not 11 mph.) You knew what I meant
    Fuck scooters anyway...this isnt Europe. Id just as soon not have those annoying-sounding, smelly, faggy-looking, slow pieces of shit in my way when Im trying to get somewhere in a hurry, anyway. They just arent cool. Its like saying you have a cool toaster, or some other mundane appliance.

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

    Take a look at the pic DUMBAZZ...You see that blue crotch rocket R6...The purpose of owning a scooter is NOT about speed, its a Hobby. You wouldn't understand would you? Because apparently you put thousands of dollars into a 30yrs plus old 240 just to get 340hp..So either you can't afford to buy a brand new car or you are a DUMBAZZ of not knowing how to manage your money.

    You don't need to do anything to an EVO to get them fast..But if you want them faster, just turn up the boost.

    Never knew lol. So yeah I'm in the market for an STi or Evo, would you like to share some pros and cons? I know performance wise there about the same. But reliability wise, would Sti's transmission take more abuse than the evo's?

    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...

    Youre apparently just a big ole jackass, seeing that your combacks make absolutely no sense. I never said they were about speed...to the contrary, they obviously arent. Your temper is overriding your intelligence a bit.
    My 240 is a hobby...just like your little scooters, except for its something that most enthusiasts consider cool, as opposed to scooters. If you cant appreciate classic sports cars, its obviously your loss. At least I have something cool to show for my money spent. If you think building a classic sports car is mis-managing money, you really should be on a different forum...
    What does your dodge have done to it for modifications? Or the evo?
    BTW, I see that you have a miata? I guess that goes well with the scooter mentality LOL I hope that is your wife's car.

    It makes a lot of sense..Its just that an imbesil like you don't know what is the purpose of MY POST is all about. I had to point it out to you several times including pics. If I wanted to make a post about crotch rocket or how fast I want to go, I would post a pic of my r6 or my other motorcycles (yes I have more, just don't feel like pull out the pictures)..But apparently you take it in your little world of what I should own or should not own..

    On to another subject..If you let a mode of transportation in determining your sexual preferences...You really should get out of that closet.

    I really dont' need to make any comebacks..All i have to do is point out your stupidity was enough for you.

    Edit: oh by the way. if you feel the need to get the last word in..You are still a DUMBASS

    Awesome. So, from this, I gather (for lack of you addressing anything pertinent to my post,) that...
    1. the viper is stock (and therefore slow.)
    2. the evo is stock (except for some gauges,) and therefore slow.
    3. the miata is yours (I dont need to point anything more out about that.)
    Did I misread anything? I know evo's and vipers can be fast, so Im just wondering if those are.
    I do need to have the last word to a point, especially when people skate around issues.
    You also still need to take a grammar class or something. Youre obviuosly so intelligent that I would expect you could put nouns and verbs together into complete and coherent sentences. Maybe not though. Maybe you can get 90 mpg on your way to the Hooked on Phonics class.
