you are an artist...

how fast does it go? high 30s/low 40s like the aero?

love the white and congrats on the "good" seat... kinda rare to find a cover that good...

Hello Donut Your right right now low 40's but it seems to have a lot more pick-up than my Aeros
I am quite sure, because it's from Japan it has an un-restricted exhaust and I can feel it gets to 40 faster but then it slowly
starts to increase a bit more but not much . As for the seat the original was tor up and some one put a seat kit over it but used screws to put it on
So I un-did the screws then re-moved the old Honda cover put some extra foam in then used real staples and a staple gun and stretched the seat cover over it cleaned it
as best as I could but it still didn't look right so sprayed some black vinyl and fabric paint and looks like new , I did mess up there was a tiny tiny itty bitty rip near the back
I should have cut a small round piece of vinyl and glued it from the inside like a patch and it would have covered the hole and made it stronger so the rip won't get larger , I really don't want to take off the seat cover and re-do it ....Just lazy I guess maybe later ....

The cop was an idiot .
He knows every thing has a 17 digit serial number , so he thinks it's a ripped off bike and whoever ripped it only put on 11 digits .
I told him it was from Japan and never sold in America and they only used 11 digits on some years .
His answer was he had a jet ski years ago and it was from Japan and it had 17 digits .
The stupid * probably bought it in Vegas and it was imported here to be sold here so it did have the 17 digit vin .
How do you argue with stupid ?

How did I get out of it being impounded ?
I told him I would go to DMV on Monday and straighten it out . guess I just got lucky .
He then said if it was day shift it would be impounded for sure .
Yea "F" you too .

In Vegas every cop and every DMV worker will give you a different story and none of them know what they are talking about and make up rules as they go along .
Check out what the moron DMV chick wrote it's scribbled but next to remarks No Documentation then under that she writes Japanese lable in storage box
Want to know what the lable in the storage box would be in English ....

*..........CAUTION...........................
* MAX. LOAD IN TRUNK :1.5 kg
* WATER MAY LEAK INTO TRUNK

Also Pineapple is right about the druggies and low life's and they are all riding China scoots here as the scooter market is flooded with them .

That was a definitely a bargain of a deal! You've obviously taken a painstakingly amount of time in the restoration of this project, but it shows well in the outcome. Did you need to rebuild the front shocks? Just wondering... Thanks for sharing your project with us!

Well as far as Decals go I have been keeping it white and sometimes when I ride it I wear a white shirt and black tie .
Like the mormans on a mission just need to get some religious leaflets and I will be set .
I was actually thinking some kind of religious decals as a lot of my bikes have Skulls or 666 stuff
was thinking this could be the anti-666 bike .
Hala-you- yah ! Even my girlfriends kid is messing with me (1st. pic ) as for the plate EYM = I,m
