Score (My pack rattiness)

[robby]

My work neighbor sold motor scooters and skipped out a few weeks ago. The property manager finally began clearing out his unit. I scored 3 new but partially assembled Chinese made motor scooters for free, because I am a nice guy. Maybe I can assemble two complete scooters out of the 3 chassis that I have.

yes, you are a nice guy, and you deserve it. any data on how many blogs recently suspended? and maybe you can tell me why they can't trace a puppet to the creator? i don't understand this.

They have been suspending huge blocks of mean sockpuppets that have most likely shared the same IP addresses. All the familiar ones are gone, but I've seen slews of new ones that haven't been used yet. I would guess that someone will use proxy clients with the nasty sockpuppets to insulate their oboveground journals from being implicated.

Right now, I really only want to talk about my wealth of Chinese motorscooters. I'm gathering internet resources like online service manuals, and sites that advise you how to tune the little engines for maximum horsepower.

how many horsepower, and how much do they weigh?

[robby.livejournal.com]

I can lift them, maybe 100 lbs each. They have one cylinder, 4 stroke, 72cc engines, but stock they only displace 49cc, in order to fall under some regulatory classification. I found a site that describes how to return them to 72cc, and if you want to buy parts, to 125cc. I took a hard look at them this morning, and it looks like I have enough parts to rebuid two of them. They all have like 3 miles on the odometer and the tires look new.

i had a 55cc honda once that would go 35 mph.

The engine is a Honda design, and these tuning sites say they when tweaked, these scooters will go pretty fast. In the Philippines, everybody is zipping around on 125cc bikes.

[hughknox.livejournal.com]

you should be able to get 50mph out of 125cc. suitable for riding to work.

I remember looking at the gun section of a reproduction 1908 Sears catalog. They sold rifles designed to be attached to the hadlebars of a bike.
