That thing will do 65? No kidding. I thought they topped out around 40.

At 49 or 50cc, the maximum speed would be around 30 to 35 MPH depending on your size and weight; however many scooters have larger engines. The Big Ruckus I ride has a 249cc engine and I've taken it up to 78 MPH.

While a 125cc engine and larger can go on the freeway, it does help to have a bigger engine in your scooter: The Honda Silverwing has around a 582cc engine, the Bergman 400 has 385cc, and the Bergman 650 has a 638cc engine.

Not in about 10 years. I have been looking for another cheap jap bike, but even the old Kawis and Hondas I used to ride for $300 are going for $3,000. I'd love to build another Panhead, but that didn't work out so well the last time.

Kimko... one of these days man, we gotta ride... :beer:
 
I had a rolling chassis, tranny, etc., the guy building the motor ripped me off, and I ended up selling the rest to stay out of jail.

Hey Kimko
Those are the original style exhaust on the Ariel
In 33/34 you could get the tube type and by 35 I think the Fish tails were an option.
In 32 that's what you got nice looking fish tails.

well what's new bikers? i've been doing my club sh it going down to san diego, went up to Hollister 4th of july but i'm not going to fort bragg for the Wino Willie and Teri Forkner memorial like last year. bummed about that!..... it's been a hard year...many deaths and too young (i lost two sisters and my friend's wife and two other bikers this year).......now it's time to get off my mourning ass and start living again! Well i had met with the producer(Ric Enriques Shankly Prod.) about the reality motorcycle ride across America and included the DVXUSER group in every state that they would be happy to film me and the locals living in their homes for a day or two.........hahaha i know if it comes to fruitation some of you's would do it! of course i didn't have names.....but what the hell!
 
That all sounds very cool. The local DVX-user-shooting sounds brilliant.

The most exciting thing I have done lately, was washing my bike this afternoon.
