I'm getting a spree

Brother Roscoe · Post by **Brother Roscoe** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 6:51 pm

My father in-law has bought and had rebuilt an 87 spree for me. I am really looking forward to riding around on it. Especially with gas prices so high. I have little to no knowledge about htis scooter yet as it hasn't arrived yet. I do know, new seat, brakes, tires, & wiring. Anything else I am not sure of. I've been reading that the top speed is about 30-35mph. I understand that there is little that I can do to make it go faster, though 40 would be nice. I plan to use it to get to work ( 4.5 miles away w/ a few small hills) this school year.
I don't have any ?'s yet, I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I can't wait cuz, I've wanted a scooter for so long.
Have a day.

Congrats on the scoot. As for the 40 mph you want...it sounds like your scoot is all redone. Dont mess that up. If you gettin 30 - 35 on it leave it alone. There are things you could do to it but i would leave it. the difference betweent 35 and 40 over 5 miles or so isnt much..

Thanks, I know its a red, 87 spree. He should ship it to me this month. I'm already on the diet down to 215 and got more to go. Those lil' debbies are pure evil in a wrapper. Ain't giving up my beer(just slowing down).
When it gets here I'll let y'all know what's what with this spree.
Quick fantasy question- How would I attach a small pair of cow horns to the front under the headlight. Is it possible?

now your talkin!! I mounted a pair of horns that were off my cutlass. Holy fricken loud!! As for your cow horns...use your imagination. I mounted mine under the floor board but if you do the same, make sure you have the clearance.

good one al...i wasnt thinkin about the type.. hmm what kinda horns brother?

The kind that grow out of a cow's head. I'm not looking for the longhorns (as in Texas) type, but proportional to the size of the spree.

I've just always wanted to do this and didn't know if it was possible or how to do it.

You know you're good when you sniff them and then you know who's they are!

The panty on yer head is a quote from one of my favorite movies. Perhaps you've seen it "Raising Arizona" starring Nicholas Cage. There is a scene in the movie where he goes into a convenient store to get some huggies for the baby and he also robs the store. He is wearing a pantyhose to cover his face, well his wife(ride) leaves him at the store and he has to try to get away and a car that stops has an older man driving and he looks at him and says "Son, you gotta panty on yer head".

But, hey as long as you know who wore 'em last then I guess its okay to sniff 'em.
