Update 9-1-2014

I purchased some goodies from both a local gentleman and Daves Motors recently. I finally got around to installing (most of) them today.

I installed an ADA clutch kit on my Fiance's sport, and swapped her billet wheels on. For my Sport, I picked up an Engine Trix fan cover scoop and an ADA Stalker air filter. I will install the filter soon, but the regular paper filter worked for today. I also install billet fuel filters and tachometers on both.

I guess I should mention that her Sport is running a .800 spindle, mine is running a .750 and they have nearly the exact same top speed and acceleration. The sport running the .800 spindle tops out at ~10,600rpm and the Sport with the .750 tops at ~13,000rpm.

I also have rockit keys sitting in my tool box. I'm just waiting to refresh the top ends before I install them.

We went on a 20 mile ride today with no problems other that the vent on my gas cap being clogged and getting vapor lock every 1.5 miles. Easy fix!

Ran into a deal today that I just couldn't pass up! I picked up this Go-Ped Bigfoot, complete, and stock except the Patmont Pipe (which is now really hard to find), and it only needs a few minor things to get it on the road!

This project will need a good cleaning, 3rd bearing and lock out setup, spindle, a tune up, and I need to figure out a fix for the broken fender... I hate Bigfoot fenders.

Well, I had both of our Go-Ped Sports running yesterday. Left to get some fuel and my little brothers managed to make a piston ring disappear on one of them!! In my 14 years of small engine motor sports, I have never seen this happen. I will be ordering a top end rebuild kit for it tomorrow, and hopefully a top end rebuild will follow!

Also, my beautiful Fiance got her first taste of stand up scooter riding today! She is hooked!

Here we start the journey. This is my current work in progress for what little spare time I have. My plan is to use this space to organize my write-ups, and connect with like minded people who want to save the nearly dead sport of stand up motor scooters. All other automotive passions are welcome as well!
