thanks bo... 

no title.?? damm... well i think i can get that sorted .... i'll have to check with my bro's on 8 mile ...

   i don't care about the lump... i will be stuffing a polaris 800cc 2 stroke in er...

 

         bo? your allright ....your a goofy sob... but some think i am as well.... i just tend to see a bigger picture then most...

 

    bo? whats the aprox. shipping on the morfidity ..??

i did a cross inter-state vespa ride with a group, they needed a desert tour guide so a friend of a friend contacted me to help out.

see if you can spot me,  i encourage you to watch the video from start to finish.

 but with your status, age and gender, i'd reccomend Suzuki Burgman 400cc or honda silverwing.. 65cc. these are serious scooters that can do cross country rides.

*avoid air cooled scooters*

my ultimatrle warning: STAY AWAY FROM CHINESE MADE SCOOTERS.

 

get advice from my buddy Mike from florida.
