Yama Goped Project

coolness. i found a 2010? tomos on cl for around 600ish. near buddhas place. had what looked like magnesium wheels

[steezin_and_wheezin]

Hell yeah, probably a slomos Sprint or ST. If you can get it for a decent price, the resell in there. That's my main cash ped. Lots of them around, and tonz of people fixing theirs. I normally pick them up for ~$100 and either fix and sell, or part em out on mopedarmy.

I'm in the process of clearing the shop before winter gets here and I go off to WV every weekend. Currently have a 01 tomos I'm parting now. So far so good!

hard tire peds are nearly instantaneous. in response. my first one was a 1994 sport. then a 2009 gsr25, then a 2006 gtr40. aka the pig.

[yamahonkawazuki]

found that electric start 49cc engine for 118 shipped from Vancouver area.  now time to sell stuff. maybe my trailtech vapour, and other items to get this going. have plans before end of year to have it rolling.  plus with my diabetes complications as they are. walking after work isn't possible.  not without great pain lol  whether its the pig, or its little sister a sport, ill have a goped on the road soon. either can be done for nearly same price.

Nice! I've always got my eye on this thread for the next upgrade!!

I'm hoping to finish another ped before the winter gets here, but as of now I'm doing more selling/parting than buying/fixing. It makes me seeing the shop empty out, but then  when i peep my paypal account

[yamahonkawazuki]

hoping to get the ball rolling within a couple weeks.

[yamahonkawazuki]

this is the engine im going to get when funds allow. hopefully will try to order in a couple weeks.  ( deadline is next week AFTER mon the 4th. have plans ) this scoot will hit 30ish, but weighs nearly 70 lbs lol. mine weighs 42lbs wet, so will gear it down slower for longevity. will say 40 tops. 30 laid back cruise

[tcmia]

That's up your alley.

[yamahonkawazuki]

[yamahonkawazuki]

Should be on road within 2 weeks. engine due to arrive  a week or so.  rest shortly thereafter. will update as I get a definite

[steezin_and_wheezin]

RAD! Hoping it drops right on and starts blasting!

[yamahonkawazuki]

goin to a hard tire sport. for something dependable. may have it Tuesday. I swap the long spindle off the broken engine to the ebay engine, the exhaust etc etc etc, and bolt it up. while in there, im going to change fuel lines and plug. and lilbe running.

ive got a near mint Samsung galaxy s2 up for sale. set up through sprint, called a sph d710 shoots video @ 1080p, has an 8mp still camera iirc a 12gb micro sd card. over 430 songs on it. trying to come up with funds to finish the goped build. lacking a proper exhaust for it. that's about it tbh. will have pictures up soon enough. perhaps tomorrow evening. was thinking 85 or so. perhaps shipped. @ THAT PRICE.  would be breaking even then. clear ESN, no problems to activate. fighting a leg infection that if it goes south, could at worst... well wont go there. but could cost me the leg lol. yay for diabetes Eh?  described what was happening to doc over phone, they waived fee and demanded I come in. said I was about 2 days shy of perhaps losing it. so hoping it works. anyhoo enough of that, it cost me half adays work. got to recoup that. they told me to take some time and stay off of it. but cannot afford to do so. gnarly pics lol. anyhoo, need to perhaps sell phone or trade to finish the goped so I can ride to work instead of walking. will have pics up this evening. err sat.
     Would have posted in FS/FT but put it here because of relationship to project.
