    "pre-mix" model?

    i'd have paid a bit extra for injection

    Nice, congrats!

    About the premix, I forgot sprints were premix, but if you ask me that's just one less thing to worry about breaking. Not that those things break, in fact we beat the shit out of them and they just kept going.

    I would keep some oil and ratio rite measuring cup under the seat, or get some of the oil that has the measuring shit built in like this:

    Then just get a gallon at a time. Fill it up a little, pour in your oil, then top it off.

    Once it breaks in, get this exhaust. It will increase your speed to 40-45.

    Damn I'm tempted to get another moped :2thumbsup:

    I don't have a problem pre-mixing. that measuring bottle is really cool too, I might get one just to have, but i've read a couple other methods like a 5-hr energy drink cup. I'll find something that works.

    I was also planning on running it bone stock for a little while until I got comfortable with it, then WHEN I upgrade to the bi-turbo, I will be also upgrading the carb jet, CDI and plug, as well.

    first thing's first, I need a 3/4 helmet and golves

    HA this guy pretty much just laid out my plans right here. It makes me really feel like I'm on the right track.. I don't plan on getting the 70cc kit or smaller sprocket though, because like he said, they're not designed to go that fast. I want this bike to last forever.

    exactly why i plan on getting a scooter and not a moped. the moped is great for off road driving but i wouldnt take a scooter on the dirt trails. pretty much everything in my area is small paved roads which benefits a scooter. but if i lived at my friends house across the bay i would go with a dirt bike.

    exact reason i am getting a moped. It's not a "dirt bike" per se, but it definitely isn't limited to pavement

    I've mailed the check on friday, but my money is still in my account.. I can only hope that I recieve a bike in return.. This company seems small but legit.

    I used to own a little Chinese knock off Vespa called a Rocketa. Pretty solid engine but I got what I payed for with the rest, a lot of plastic junk components. Pretty fun though. I think you can get a new one in 50cc for about $700. I went up to 150, but I live in the city.

    luckily those were mostly gifts, also some from as far back as her toddlerhood. It is boyband concert tickets that is of concern.

    That's the goal!!! Thanks!
    my helmet will be here between 9/2 and 9/8, so my first few rides will be naked-headed.. had to wait til i got paid again to get my helmet lol.. easily justifiable expense though.

    Here I sit in the delivery window.. they got three more hours.
