well, after talking to my dad me and him got a great idea to open a moped shop in michigan, im saying like we would carry oem moped ( not only honda ) and hp parts. he said that he would look into it ( i thought that just ment no in a nice way ) then he accily was looking around for places to open the shop at and looking online for details about opening a shop. what do you think? my dads sick of his job working for a boss. so he wants to be a boss. we would also carry go karts mini bikes and stuff. so in the beginning it would not be a strict moped shop. i would be one of the mechanincs and my dad said that he needs 3 good mechanincs atleast before opening. he said that we wouldent open until next year summer. who would be interested in working there?

also, we need a name, and im to dumb to think of a non * one. and a banner. and it would feature this site. i would advritize this site in the shop. so anyone got any names?

darat would you be interested working there?

o and it would also be a place to tune cars and anyother thing with a carb. i learned how to tune holly carbs perfect. and thats a dieing art.

Based on the amount of moped/scooter activity I see on the web centralized in the upper MW and Michigan, I would think the market would support a shop. It seems a bit more far-fetched in the south (NOT saying it can't happen).

Names...hmmm...I'll throw something out to get things going...how about:

Stay in school work on those typing and spelling skills.

I think it could work because gas prices are going to keep being high. I would start it in the spring as a side business first then maybe it can pick up enough to consider it full-time.

I think u should carry tomos and tng and tfr mopeds, thats what i would do.

I would think of something that stresses the fact that they get good gas mileage. Or call it whatever u want but get a big * sign and stick it out by the road with the mpg on the mopeds.

120 mpg!!!!!! Like the TFR and such.

Are you guys gonna be selling new scooters? You should look into that. Get a dealers lisence and you should be able to pick up scoots for half of msrp and make like 700-1000 profit on each one.
