Yep, I've owned a Chinese 50cc scooter for nearly six years now. Pretty Wife wanted one. She rode it ONE TIME and that was that. Go figure. Anyway, I use it for the four block ride to the hardware store or a quick errand nearby. It's a slug with the GY6 50cc engine. Some engine tweaking now gets me 32mph... eventually. On a flat street. With a fair tail wind.
The "brown truck" just dropped off a Big Bore Kit. Gonna get that little engine built up to a monster 72cc and see if I can't get at least 40mph outta the little bugger.
New cylinder and the stuff that goes into it. Milled head with high performance -;D- valves and cam. A performance -there's that word again- coil and CDI ignition with a few more degrees of advance and no rev limiter. Some carb and filter upgrade bits plus a full stainless steel, free flow exhaust. All this stuff for $131.00. It is Chinese.
Pulled the scooter's file and finally read the "Operating Instructions for Motorcycle"

[size=14]When driving please you keep the relaxing moon and wear comfortable clothes, obey the traffic rule and prohibit the moon impatient[/size].
I must have missed this in the R65 owners manual.
USA folks, stay safe over the 4th of July holiday. Don't piss off the moon.
