Hello there, from the U.S.

Howdy! Been lurking on this site for a while, figured I should say what's up.
Name's George, and this is my scoot.

2002 Honda Metropolitan "IIt" fitted with a Minarelli clone, hence the "IIt".
Stage6 Streetrace 70cc kit
Tecno Evolution pipe
Dell'orto PHBG 21mm - 90mj, 35pilot
HOCA racing variator with 4.5gm rollers
Top speed was 60mph, but has dropped to ~55.


This doesnt' have the Dell'O pictured.


Always wanted it to look like a drag bike, so the exhaust has changed quite a few times.










Fitted an airbox where the battery used to be. Smoothed out a dead zone in throttle response.


Malossi belt, MHR red contra, and 2000 rpm engagement springs.


The engine suspension/frame was custom built by me, and is rigid. It is not a bad ride at all. Maybe a little bumpy haha


Cheers

 

Welcome to the RIGHT SIDE of the pond

 

3rd bike from the left?

 

Hmmmmm...............eyes not that good, but mayyyybeeeee

 

They're all Honda Ruckus', except mine. What's up with the no. plate?

 

I'm in good ol' Virgina.

 

I know that he meant Virginia, but the mis-spelling made me think of something else entirely...

 

Smoking Vaginas?

 

haha spelled it the way people here pronounce it haha

Small world. That pic of the other scoots is right by Yorktown. Every year (for the last 3 anyway) the Ruckus crew gets together in Richmond, rides down to Jamestown (Founded in 1609 - first English settlement in the Virginia colony) and back. It's ~100 miles round trip.

 

Here's a better pic of the scoot with the latest iteration of exhaust.
