now im refering to bone stock lol aparently no one in the area ive seen is into scoot tuning they just get on them and ride them and when they break they either take them and put them and put them in the shop or dump them off on craigs list , as far as hills trust me we got them lol . a friend of mine from when i lived in delaware was originally from "arkanslaw" as he called it and was impressed with our curvy hills hes a sportbike guy , but as far as my scoot goes its an impressive lil china scoot its too small a frame for me but it performs so damn well i just dont ever want to part with it lol

The small frame 150's are pretty good off the line. Mine will beat my 250cc EFI bike in a 100 yard dash no problem. It'll even beat my Silver Wing in a 100 yard dash.

the 1x6 they use to make the perimeter of the frame, i grew up in trailers and when i was 15 i was a master mechanic for trailers lol. i can install a single wide in 4 hours complete, a double takes 6 and a week to finish the interior.
i learned what hard work was early on in life and lived in a trailer park with a 1000 homes in it's hayday, i set probably half of them.
theres nothing like crawling under a 1960's trailer that hasn't been crawledunder in 40 years lol, it's 6'' off the ground and thats because the other blocks sank, just to tow it home and watch it break in half, on a friday evening lol
it taught me the basics of everything so now i am spoiled and work in mansions. i watched this old house since it came on, i learned everything from that, except i don't sugarcoat anything i tell it the way it is. some people don't like that haha.
