Ok, so Im a big fan of scooters. Anyway, I picked up a new honda C70 today for 600 bucks. Its not bad shape (but not show room) and it runs like a champ. The blue one is a 1981 and the red is an '82. When I come back I want to fully restore the red one and make a real sweet ride out of it. I also ordered a big bore kit for the engine, so when I come back I will have it here. Im also thinking about hooking up a small dry nitrous kit ... but we'll see.



The blue one is in show room condition (except one small fender bend on the back). The other 2 are more modern scooters, both 100cc and make nice summer cruise vehicles. I am however a more retro man at heart.



check it out!



red ones the new one.

Nice, but I'm not exactly sure I'd call it a step up from the 7.

I had an old 4-stroke Indian moped, too bad I couldn't afford the time or money to fix it up, that would've rocked. I wouldn't mind having a retro scooter.

vespas are so common around here is sickening. Vespas = over rated and over priced scooters.



Then again, if you rolled a nice 70's one ... those are cool.
