I see these displayed in many places. I know what they are. My son is 31 and was lucky enough to see the whole concept being born. I bought transformers for him, and thought they were cool toys, then cartoons(not so cool, but I'm old)....PLEASE explain to me what the attraction is for displaying these....anybody.

This is laughable....I recently scavenged an IRONMAN mask from the trash...you may remember the mods that 66Six was doing with one...I was thinking of converting it to a number plate for the track-gyro..... :crazy: .... :coolcruise:

hahhah I think you have it motormike...my scoot is a robot in disguise :D or at least I can pretend it is with the badge on it lol My parents wouldnt buy me the kewl toys when I was a kid but I did read the comics and watch the cartoons. Also they made a few of those adventure books where you go to page 65 if you turn left down the corridor or go to page 8 if you follow the entrance to the forbidden lair :P

I finally downloaded and printed Gordon Jennings two stroke tuning handbook. I am too cheap to buy the $100 real deal off amazon do this will suffice. Anybody have any other two stroke tuner book must haves that I should add?

.......O-M-G-!!!!!!!............
If I'm lyin', I'm die'n.....this video IS Nashville....I'm totally freakin' out that this happened and I didn't make the show......I know most the riders in the vid, except the main rider and the dork on the trike.(your gonna get some flack in Michigan, I'm loading the long-range missiles with FUNGICIDE...that should wipe out swimmingfree and any offspring)....
The East Side Scooter shop in the vid WAS the Genuine dealer....they are now closed, out of business, and there is not much I can say to hurt their reputation(any further). Even the other shop here in East Nashville, Red Dog Scooters, is on the verge of reorganization, or worse.

Thanx swimmingfree for the link....too cool....I'm gonna have to watch it a few times...... :hi:
