yeah he's down for life, even if he goes MIA every once & awhile.
richard & joe are NEXT! (even if they don't know it yet)

Yep, DFL...thanks Kendra!

So after nearly a year my magnum project is finally complete. I have taken my time with this one, and it has most certainly paid off. She has a completely rebuilt e50, a facelift and a couple upgrades. She's running excellent and is really smooth. I know it might not be the fastest bike on the streets, but I built this one conservatively to be reliable on long distance rides.

Here's the current setup:

E50

DMP race crank

70cc Athena kit (non-reed)

12v lighting

16 Del SHA and 15mm intake

Techno Boss

check it, kinda funny

Just thought I'd share my progress on my bike. I know most of my fellow Ponies feel as though I fell off the face of the earth...but I'm still here! Here's why I haven't been able to ride fellas, and I'll let the pictures do the talking:

- Nearly new V1 bottom end (~100 miles) with roller crank
- 75cc Polini (case matched, 19mm intake and 25mm exhaust match, drilled oil holes on the piston)
- High compression head w/custom longer engine studs
- Ramsey Simonini exhaust
- 19mm Race PHBG with all the fixings (incl. AU atomizer/bushing!) w/custom 19mm intake
- CEV CDI w/Tomos 12v lighting coil and Korado voltage regulator
- Rebuilt 17" Snowflakes w/ Sava MC11 tires (2.25")...no more 16s!
- 9x31 gearing (rear sprocket is a modified Tomos one)


:)...oh and don't mind the rear wheel over spray...powder coated in the winter!


Lost the kickstand but tonnnnns of pedal clearance.


Custom cylinder studs to get that head to fit.


Homebrewed 19mm intake.


Easy access.


Custom exhaust flange.




Can I get an amen?


CDI wires and such.

SO I still need to hook up the rear brake cable, cut and attach the chain, time the engine, put gas in it, register it, and put the front snowflake on. But ahh, so so close. I hope it flies!

ok, its not quite like disarming a bomb.

finally installed the kinetic cdi on my bravo + hardwired it

starts easily

idle seems low

launches into midrange

bright lights

fun to ride

(disc brakes + sealed bearings next?)

Now that my Freespirit is "done," I've decided it's time to take my moped building skills to the next level...

'87 Minarelli powered Motomarina Sebring. Sending her to get powder coated next week. Starting from the ground up. What sucks is when it's complete... it'll probably be winter. I guess Ill have to take a road trip to ride it around Florida. Super excited about this build!

Does anyone want to buy these sweet handle bars cheap?

can anyone help? thanks

& he's so serious!
who will be next?

Maybe you want these?

Soo.. I'm poor.. and I'm doing some spring cleaning.. Some prices are negotiable.. some aren't.. I have more photo's of everything so ask and ye shall receive.

Ask questions and I will answer.. I am throwing these up here before they get offered to MA. So let me know before 10 days from now.. (I know some of you have already expressed an interest in some stuff, not to worry, I haven't forgotten)..

+ hard wired the bravo successfully today

+ beautiful sunny day for a ride in the park

+ started easily and was fun to ride again

- exhaust fell off (completely) the first time and got scratched up

- clutch shattered into pieces and probably ruined my rear gears/hub

- forecast of rain tomorrow

++ no metal shards from the bell or springs injured me

Spencer and I went for his first true cruise today. And despite some mishap, we prevailed!

A little "bike wont start" problem solving sesh

He got pulled over on Broadway

And completely ate shit in a busy intersection.

A complete moped triathlon! And he stuck with it... scratches on your helmet give you character?

I on the other hand, got some more tuning done on my Freespirit. GPS'd 52 before I had to slow down for a turn. Good day all around!... for some... better than others!

We got it running last night. I am so jealous!
