(waiting for site to load…) These better not be Truck Nutz. Or anything like Truck Nutz...
Oh, Bobbers. Yeah, they're sorta "the thing" now it seems. Next year everyone will be unloading their scooters to buy these.
There's another thread where someone was admiring them, so as a moderator, let me remind you that nothing is stupid and everybody's opinion is valid & cetera.
I don't care for them, and they appear to be cheap and probably Chinese made, but their site *still* hasn't loaded (I googled it while I was waiting) so I can't be sure about that.

Thats kinda ironic. A Triumph rider that I talk with all the time at my morning coffee shop handed me a scrap of paper with that link on it on thursday. He said I should have gotten one of those instead of my buddy. I asked why I would get a cheap Chinese chopper that maxes out at 110cc, when I can get my buddy and stand out from the crowd

I'm with Kurzer on this one; I think they're pretty slick. They seem a bit underpowered, but so far I've only been able to find favorable reviews. I challenge other forum members to come up with damning evidence!Kurzer wrote:Wha?!?!?! Those things rock the casbah Maybe it's just me, but I think they're pretty cool.

Half naked women straddling cheap bikes....never did a thing for me.
You can see the hormonally challanged age group that these folks are trying to appeal to.
The males on this forum may beg to differ but I hope that certain scooter magazines never turn into eye candy for the male like so many bike rags. Sure the scooter group had the female teasers in their ads in the past. But they were sexy but tastful. Now the women portrayed are just trashy. Besides there are alot more women riding these days. If there must be eye candy then let it be young males with 6 pack abs with only their skivies on straddling our Buddies!

I ride scooters so my judgement of what others ride is pretty liberal! It has two wheels so it's not all bad!
why would somebody want one?

I gotta agree. Two wheels and an engine is cool. As for the engine itself, it's another Honda clone that can easily be bored and stroked to over 125 cc. and will do over 65 mph. What's not to like? It's a place to begin customizing!!

oh what a tease. now i just gotta say...choppers are super unruly to handle. visualize yourself doing just about anything with those handlebars. it's practically the antithisis of the buddy. i'm a form follows function kind a girl. i don't even get the attraction to belting your pants below the butt so what does this old girl know.BadBrains wrote:...so far I've only been able to find favorable reviews.
