They heavy into modding over there? Hows the laws on it? Im sure there all not modded but do you see, or hear some "goodies" now and again? Only one i'v seen out of thousands was a flash of the "Naked Black Scooty" that went by and i think it was a 4T. They have killed 2T over here.  I think a lot of the smaller scoots are 125s. But not sure. |

Listened all day for a tuned pipe. Only 2, both on sport bikes, so sad... Trip continues to go well. This lady holds Ethics and Family Values assemblies in public schools across the island. Teen suicide is a big problem here and she is trying to give kids tools to deal with stress. Nice lady.  My version of a fishing day. Wandering the streets looking for people to photograph. Found some...  |

Finally a trip to the Kymco dealer (3 in fact). Basically a atore front that turns into a shop when open. The "showroom" is on the sidewalk out front.  No US models in sight but i liked the look of this "Racing 150".  Your basic A/C gy6 smaller than a Super8 but with front AND rear disc breaks. I like the LED tail light. If understood corectaly the price was in the 1K range.  Also got to see a Quannon 150 inside the shop. Not a bad looking little sport bike. They didn't speak any english and didn't seem interested in a "hand signals" conversation. I guess i'm spoiled my local dealer that lets my whole scooter club crash his garage and pester him with questions a couple of times a week. ;D |

I really like the big brakes that Kymco uses on some of their scoots. The one next to the racing 150 is pretty cool from what I can see. Kinda like one of the very popular styles of Chinese scoots like the scoots beside it, but raced up a bit. Swap the white parts for black and it would be even better.  ;D Thanks for the pics. |

Thanks for that! Glad your getting some "my time" in. That Kymco looks good too. I like the big brakes also, as well as the dual rear shocks :thumb: ! Wonder if their version is quicker or faster in anyway? Ya know, right outta the box. Hey look, they did come outta the box. The one in the wall lol :lol: . No parts huh? DANG! Gotta be some somewere. Thats cool Tim lets you all hang out. Does he actually work while your there? I couldnt! I try but seem to mess up when i have another around so i dont work while others are in the shop anymore. Ever since that day i was showing Mike how a vari works with his Aprilia. That sucker blew up right in our faces  ! Dont know how we were missed. You can still see marks in the wall from vari chunks. Looks like a chalk outline from a body :paranoid: . NUTS! Now they(my customers) think i ship it off to somebody else to get built lol. I tell em my elves do it. :rofl: Wouldnt that be cool? "Elf, go get in the mina case today and clear those carters, heres a shop vac. No mess this time buddy" I love my elves ;D. |

In Japan airport now. So when i got to the airport today i found out that i have finally flown enough miles on United that i have achieved "Executive" status. That means that even though i am still a poor video guy flying at the "back of the buss" i can now use the United lounge on layovers. So i can eat and drink and use the internet for FREE in places like this while i wait for my next flights.  Feel kind of out of place with all the "high tone folks" but i guess i earned it the hard way. ;D |

That does look a lot better than the standard seating out in the other waiting areas. Not to mention the food and drinks. Congrats on the upgrade!

Yup the lounges sure made the trip home nicer. Just an hour of comfort between flights is a big help.
