Well done the winners. The real winners are all of us for having such a great community here at 49cc scoot. Thanks Brent.
I was never realistically going to win. There were quite a few challenges that would be impossible for me to get. Even without a broken scoot! But it was fun trying to find challenges. Really enjoyed the challenges, and getting out and riding. Thank you again Brent

Had an amazing ducking time out there folks! Can’t believe I won!
I put in a ton of work to get it done and pushed my scoots past limits I’d never taken them to before. Even in my personal life, it was truly scootweek haha. Ate, slept, and breathed challenges for a week against horrible weather on certain days and a job that gets in the way of everything lol.
Michimoper, let’s get together soon and I’ll grab you lunch to celebrate.
As for the prize money, I’d like to get a Polini bbk setup to install over the winter or a stretch of bad weather in the summer. Does anyone have a suggestion of what pipe, bbk, crank, and size carb to get for a reliable setup and good performance? I’m more about a peppy bike that can cruise about 55 mph or so and be bulletproof than a bike that screams down the road pulling wheelies for a couple thousand miles before blowing up.
I was thinking a 19mm Polini carb with a Polini Corsa or Contessa (spelling? Lol) bbk, whichever crank is even tougher than the motor, and whichever Polini exhaust best matches those three variables. I don’t mind spending money for good quality. I’ll probably buy the components one at a time though.
Thanks to everyone who played and made it such a great time.
And thanks, Brent, for doing all the work to make all this happen behind the scenes. I know it’s way more work than I have the discipline to carry out regularly.

Congratulations to 90GTVert for doing such an amazing job with this Scoot Week Challenge, to ryan_ott for those sweeeet trophies, and Tanuki for giving up his lunch money to the second place finisher.
Congratulations to all the participants for being forced to ride around all week on scooters, looking for stuff and getting funny looks in return. Great job everyone.
Also, I'd like to thank the Black Ruck for running like a champ all week and never missing a beat. Did 603 miles altogether and only required an oil change and petrol. It's getting a well deserved wash today.

Nice job Kenho21 . Looks like you had fun with the challenges... and it looks like you and michimoper should have rode together since you posted some of the same places. Between you and I, I saw Michimoper out there (outside Lover's Lane today or all places haha), but we can be friends after the competition is over haha. For real though, hopefully we can get together and cruise sometime soon! Hey, Kenho21, at least you didn't catch me coming out of the strip club. You did amazing. Looks like all of your points were earned while riding a 49cc scoot. That, in itself, blows me away. For sure, let's get together, grab some lunch, maybe plan a ride,(if you don't mind the company of someone old enough to be your grandfather, haha.)

Wow good job everyone who played and congrats to kenho. Those are so many tags to get! I got a few but some weeks events took over and I had to abandon. I posted 1 in another thread. Those trophies are so cool.

And since I was unable to play, you were saved from triple pix of some of the same things! Congrats to all the winners, and especially to ken hoMETOWN dude for taking it all the way home! Wish I could have played, but I'll be there next time racking up the miles with y'all...
