Thanks for checkin out allthe pics fellas! I really like the scoot. so much that i willprobably keep it as mine and look no further. I plan to do a 80?cc swap and high rise exaust in the future. Tonight i did the fender mod and realized my turn signals and running lights dont work. errg i hate electrical stuff......took a ride to the beach why didnt i ever do this before....it was the best time i ever had the pics note temp darkside riders logo the one shock and single sided swingarm is different.

So, yesterday I went for a ride to the dollar store. As i neared a red light a saw and old orange 50cc sitting at the light. There was a small dude on it with a funky half helmet. I pulled beside him and asked...what are you getting top speed man? he says "about 40"......then, the light turned green and we both got on the gas........vrroooooommmm.......He started to pull away from me almost immediately...i have the throttle at full pull and i see him looking in his rearview as he pulls away from me a little more. Damn it, I thought...this thing just got beat by a 90s model no problem....I wondered if his was unrestricted as mine is still stock.......his rims were smaller and he weighed a little less then me....I will sell this scoot and build a 50, a sleeper that looks like a piece of crap,,,I will unrestict it and jet it and see what happens...I want to build a fast 50 this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgw1jToZukk
cliffs; lost my first dragrace selling the tomos buying an old scoot to really mess with dont want to mess with this one/too pretty no pics / hand was tightly wound around throttle footage next time with gopro

Insane stuff. I want a scooter that fast, but I cant find too many 2 strokes around here....I guess Ill wait for one to pop up with a title. Well I made my first service call and it was just a dead battery so I did not get paid as i diagnose for free. However the scooter now has a broken starter so I may go out on site and fix it . I am doing pro bono work to et business in the door. The TOMOS sold at 2am last night to a couple of spanish guys.....it was fun and the blue scoot sells this morning. I am scheduled to pick up 3 scooters today. I need help as i dont have a truck, I am floating ona wing and a prayer on this. Hopefully have some cool pics of some new scoots and a special project scoot just for me I have to have a toy or I just cant work lol!!!!

3 out of 4 people really dont want to sell their stuff (scoot) on CL. They have no drive to sell. I have figured out my clientele......recovering drug addicts and spanish guys. Which is coolwith me, cool people man. i had 3 scooters lined up to buy, but 2 out of 3 bugged out or couldnt wait for me to gather a truck up. But thats ok, there are more than a few out there. The TOMOS sold for an outrageous 500 bucks almost immidiately after i posted it at that price. The KMCO sold for 500 as well, outrageous price and dude was happy as because he beat everyone elses product by 3-400 bucks. The magic number is 500. They will go so fast at that rate and nobody can compete with that. I used half the flipmoney to put into another investment to drive the scooter business....maybe soeone will wake up and want to business today, maybe not.......the only problem I can find with this venture is finding enough scooters to fix. Gonna chill today and not force anything, hope you have a goo day d, and everyone else ridin today, im walkin tot he store. no scootets

Well D, I dont want to telegraph all of my moves, some of them i just fake like a bait and switch type of thing. It seems alot of people are tryin to get scooters....so I changed gears for a minute to let them buy out .....but I still scored what i wanted. Tao Tao 50cc special 63? we shall see. ....it ran for 3o seconds, made noise and is now not even turning over. I guess its time for that 80cc kit. the pics...... I have some other irons in the fire but may be taking a change in business but still gonna mod scooters and fix em' cheers, blow out some smoke and pour out some drink
