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.

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.

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.
