Someone is trying to beat my record
Looks like Scooterworks and the NASRA are trying to build the world's fastest Buddy. They're starting with a Lil International 50cc.

Yeah, we can't let them take the title!Skootz Kabootz wrote:Well they may have a few a mods behind them. But you have mods and the collective will of the entire Modern Buddy community behind you! They don't stand a chance
On that note, does anyone have or know where I can get a reasonably priced CN250 or CH250 Horizontal?

Depends on who makes it and where it's from.

Hehe, careful with that. There's also a bunch of clones out there in the 250 scoot range featured in finer crates and website-only dealers everywhere.Kaos wrote:ILostmycage wrote:Depends on who makes it and where it's from.
The ch/cn250? They're in the Honda elite, helix, and many Taiwan 250's. And hopefully soon my buddy

Yep, I'm aware of that. Been keeping my eye out for an older elite for a bit to pull one from. Or a wrecked sym.Lostmycage wrote:Hehe, careful with that.

Looks like a pseudo-factory effort to dethrone a privateer! Your accomplishments, Kaos, are like a private team winning the 24 Hours at Daytona over all the factory-sponsored and supported teams.
You da man!

Yes, that is my scooter.
Yes, I wear a helmet and a FIRSTGEAR armored jacket.
No, I'm not embarrassed to be seen riding it.
Yes, that is an NRA sticker on the fender.

Wondering if they're working on it for the Motorcycle Land Speed Trials? I know Motorsport is working on a 250.

I'll make the drive to see it. The distance from kaos to Scootertrash is about the same as ST to me. I'll bring my camera and a fire extinguisher.

NASRA and Midqwest Scooter Racing League
I'm just so psyched we have some racing opportunities our way now. I didn't have my dead man switch in time for the 1st Twist -n Gone Dragrace in May and we were in Indiana for the Gasoline Rally last weekend so I missed the 2nd race. But looks like I'll be ready to rock and roll July and August.
We had a blast on Practice Day a couple weeks ago for the MSRL Track Racing. I am SO loving the opportunity to do this stuff!
