The guys name is Rick. Here is local here in Orlando Florida. His screenname is 98 Snake Eater. The scooter does have a nitrous system on it and it's fast as hell. He's had it dynoed I think but I dont know what it put out. What else do you want to know?

Actually, it was a Yellow T/A and that scooter handed me my **** <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I shut it down on top end cause he was pulling on me <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

A little more work is going into it before the rematch....

I'll have to ask for a few carlengths for that race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I had the fortune (or misfortune) to ride that beast, and it was much faster than I expected.

I went to go push-start it up and when it finally started, that thing flew right away from my feet. When the scooter took a fall, I messed up the Nitrous purge line <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . Sorry about that.

Here is the video of me riding it on Wednesday (12/4/2002)
Me falling off of the scooter

And here is a vid clip of it racing the TA
The scooter ripping the TA a new one

I think he did have it dynoed and it puts out like 33HP or so.

yeah i eventually found all the info i needed. the local site that i was referring to is mostly a ricer site so none of them know what any of it meant. they just replied with "man how many stickers does have have on that thing!?" <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

but anyway, thats one hella fast scooter. thats insane to go that fast on a scooter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> have you ever taken it to the track? i bet you get some laughs until you pull up and put a hurtin' on people. if you have what's it run?
