Hero 65cc


I've decided that this kit is just too tempting to pass up. It looks awesome, has a big magnum style fin pattern, and it's ridiculously cheap. $77. Go buy one now. If you have a stock magnum, this would bolt right up with the angled exhaust, although you might have to do some intake adjustments. Either way, I'm looking forward to messing around with this cylinder. I intend to add some material to an E50, then open up those ports nice and wide. I'll adjust my 6p to fit this exhaust port, and pair it up with a 21 dellorto on a custom intake. I know some of the Cuperteens have run these, curious what they say about them. If I like it, I might snag one for my MagnumX, and I'll bet the stock MagX intake will bolt on without too much goofery as well. They do sell the matching head, but I realized the other day I have 5 magnum heads sitting in my cylinder box, and I"m not sure where they all came from. I'm going to mill one flat and lathe in a nice squish band for the 65cc when it comes. Pictures and fun things as they come along.

A few more pictures from race day


I like this picture, it's myself, Naz, Jesse (perhaps the only racer to not suffer any explosive bike problems this season) and Travis.

I think I blue a seal on my moped.


We had a really good time, and my moped ran very well. It's official now, I'm the slowest part of the bike. Matt Smith came and raced and had a good time. September's race should be extra fun, as MF resident PHD and European migratory worker IanT will be back in the states and has promised and crossed his heart (my words, not his) to race with us. It was also funny to watch so many mopeds all crash in the same corner on the slick track in the morning, as each one dumped a little more gas and oil on the track to make it even worse for the next. 5 mopeds and at least 2 scooters, and even a little kid on a dirt bike all bit it in one corner.

Also important to note, I got to eat at Sonic drive in, which makes this track excellent. Happily, the Sonic on the way to Mac Track will be complete by September, and I'll be glad to eat there too. Applebee's is way better than Olive garden.
But we will let the people decide.

Races and nothing really moped related

If you come to the races this weekend, you will be amazed.
Otherwise,
I'll entertain you.
