So after talking with the guy who bought my car two years ago, I want to buy it back now. Thats my rotary news.
As for non rotary news ...
Ive been working on scooters ... old hondas specifically.
My pride and joy is a c70 passport that I restored (some might remember the build up and then crash pictures) and built a high compression 90cc engine for.
It cruises along pretty well, doing wheelies and such, but I ended up breaking the rear swing arm so I figured it would be a good time to do a whole new restore with some better paint.
So that one is waiting for paint and down to bare frame.
The others are my other scooters, another c70 and a cl90 in the middle of a total restore with a high compression 103cc engine.
Also got some new camera equipment, the sony is on loan from discovery channel. I like them both but Id still have to stick with the xl2 because of its versatility. I know most of you probably dont care about cameras
But what the hell....
so yeah, tell me what you think!

I think I'll run up to the store and buy me some Bass Ale. Got a hankerin' for some Bass Ale.
Why did the Discovery Channel lend you a camera? Are you shooting some video for a segment of "Orange County Scooters?"
How many cats do you have?

I'd love to have a classic scooter one day, they're neat.
I found a 4-stroke Indian moped in a shed once, gave it away though (too much work involved). It was pretty rad.

They really are super simple to work on. I can tear one down engine and all and put it back together in just a couple hours. Parts are at max like 60 bucks ... and there is a heavy aftermarket for older hondas.
That and its really fun to do wheelies past people on some goofy looking grocery getter thingymabob!
I dont think im ever going back to cars ... way too much involved
