Weekly Moped Crap - Blown up Vespa Varo, Garelli Basic + pics.

GOT A NEW KEYBOARD!!! I CAN TYPE!!!

 Inside Varo cheek decided to shoot off in traffic. It was shooting sparks and I said to myself "well you gotta get to work somehow!" and I fucking GASSED IT and blew up like 4 blocks later in the middle of a huge intersection. hahahah fail.

 Good ole flipped belt.

 How the hell did that end up back there?

 Bought another Grande LOOKS NICE.

 Laguna airmailed to the shop.

 Tuned up this nice looking Romeo (Ro-Mae-Ohhhhh) Thunderhawk the other day.

 Chicago Moped Engineers at their finest... wait for it...

 Looking great!

 Handle bars on 1000000! looking great. notice the Oury Grips had to be cut down. I REALLLLY hate those grips, Theyre like holding onto a dildo.

Interesting 1984 Garelli Basic.

 Cool to see a subframe on a Garelli. Also notice the Forrest Gump kickstand (dont worry we replaced it).

 Hard to tell but the intake is offset and diagonal which I'm assuming is to allow the subframe movement without hitting the carb.

 Cool Euro looking headlight. 

Im such a sucker for 83-89 mopeds.

VIDEOS!!!!!!!! and vespa weights.

Been super busy building junk lately. Hercules is running but in the middle of the tuning process I figured out that the gas is half crazy juice from the past. It's a fun bike and im stoked to have a sachs moped. My buddy Ryan Schimmel of Tennessee sent me some sweet custom weights and I really dig them. I havent taken my grande over a block or so at a time but the low end rules. Theyre 12.5 grams combined and its SUPER COOL.  Doing porting soon to my stock V1 and should post pics. I CANT SLEEP BEFORE 5 AM CAUSE OF THESE DANGED MOPARDS. I hate caps. my hands are so dirty. the fumes are killing me. made these vids and one isnt even about mopeds but its scenic and has a Morrissey song in it.

 12.5g at 2.5g a piece   

 2.5g vs the stock 8g so 12.5g vs 40g all together.

 Hercules rides again. this thing rules, i prob hit 15 mph on it so far. Im stoked to have a bike to send drunk wesley to the corner store on and not worry about the bike.

Does this gas look good?

Klingon Spark Plug tool review with WillD

Timed my Pug 103 in reverse, weeeeeeeee

important update.

Got tired of seeing this Sachs Hercules frozen to the ground. According to Thom, it had been from yard to yard for 6 years. Didnt have a sparkplug and was fully seized. It did have the flywheel cover on (best) and I tapped on the flywheel to unseize it. 2 mins later and its firing on carb cleaner. I have huge plans for this, mostly just to be in a parade on it and maybe break 20 mph, but lets not get our hopes up. Been working on all my bikes, mostly my laguna and will post pics soon about this dumb fender thing I did to it.

HUGE Photo Update! CREATURES: Trick or Treat 2 Rally + West Coast Road Trip.

Huge update! WELLL I decided last minute to go to the Creature's rally in San Francisco. I sold a Peugeot clutch pulley and pipe to my buddy Marvin and bought my ticket. The flight was cool and I didn't have to sit next to any drunk or morbidly obese people. Stayed with Blk Blk Alex who is an angel sent from on high. Not only did she provide and nice quiet spot for me to sleep on the first 2 nights, she also loaned me her rad magnum for the weekend. I got to finally troll and hangout at Treats HQ! I  hung out all day asking mundane questions about parts, I'm sure they were thrilled to have me there. Friday night ride was fast and rad. Jimmy and David got in a fender bender. The Saturday ride was awesome. I was late and missed the ride leaving. Thankfully Ace was at the spot and pointed in the direction the pack had gone. I was riding for probably 10 miles by myself playing a non-certain game of catch up. Finally I spotted everyone and jumped in the middle of it all. My friend Nikki (BANG! GANG!) hopped off a motorcycle  and onto my bike. We had probably a 10 to 3 moped to motorcycle ratio on the ride. It's nice to have motorcycles to block traffic for you. The ride was pretty smooth and very hilly. At one point in the suburbs a cop started chasing us all, it was cool. Ultimately he ended up tackling a Seattle rider and taking him to jail. HAHA Oh God. The twisty turns were awesome along the way and there was only 1 gnar hill I couldn't make it up. The campsite was rad and in the forest. The motorcycles beat us there. From there: Food, Fire, Dildos, Beers, Red Bulls, Ballons, Dildo Contests, Burning Dildos, Allen going into a Black Flag K-hole, Maitland: Rally Bong, Zach Evans telling it how it is, Shrine Time, Laughing, Sleeping.  Im typing too much. Amazing Rally you can see that in the pics. THX  Mikey D, Allen, Alex, Benji, Creatures, Lateturds, Bengry, Nikki, Seth, ACE.

Good seeing everyone.
