Your title reminds me of a story...

I was going to look at a new scooter. (the uber-badass Honda Ruckus 50 btw)
Got the address, set a time....it was further than i thought and i got there approx 30 minutes late
guy answers the door, i say-
Sorry, I'm retarded.
I took the surface streets and should have got on the freeway.

he gives me a funny-ish look and then takes me to the garage to see the scoot.

'This belongs to my developmentally-disabled son...we were hoping he could use it to get around, but it is too dangerous for him to use, and we have to sell it.'

(oops      )

Joel,

I think I see a spot for Michelle's new bike right next to the Toasty Edition. 

You can't just post the pic and not tell us the plan. What all are you going to do to the little guy?

Its a 125 from China. I need to replace a few bits. Carb, thottle cable and tube, grips and rear brake lever. The plan is to strip it bare, powdercoat bits, put it back together with some 12inch supermoto rims and tires. Then teach Michelle and the boys to shift

Ouch!! I have a niece with Downs syndrome and have experienced a few moments like that with folks.

Don't mean to wreck this cool thread but once at work I got a phone call about a case in my court. I thought the person on the other end was a coworker who constantly was f#@king with me... making stupid calls with fake accents, etc. Just goofing, nothing serious. This time it sounded like someone talking who had suffered a severe stroke, all garbled and weird sounding. My ex-wife's Mom had a stroke and talked like that. Well naturally I knew it was Fred pranking me. So I start giving him shit back on the phone and started talking all f#@ked up like he was talking. I was really joking around but I was calling "Fred" all sorts of nasty shit. Well, I hang up on "Fred" and go into the probation office where he works and he's not there. I ask his supervisor where he is and he says he took the afternoon off for doctors appointments. I start to worry and tell him what happened and what the guy said his name was. The super told me that he really was an attorney (he knew him) and yes he had a stroke and now talked like that. Holy shit!!! Thank God the case he was asking about really wasn't in our court so I never had to see him... or apologize!!!

End of threadjack!

enough to get my fat ass to the mailbox and back

I got it to have a lil fun with. It's a Chinese 125 with a 3 speed transmission. I tore it apart so's I can black out the frame and motor. I've got a nice Mikuni carb on order, some new ProTaper bars and grips, and I've hunted down some new smaller/wider rims shod with some dunlop street tires. I got tired of my lil doodle bug, so I thought teaching the boys how to shift a proper bike would be fun.

[Rameses]

Am I on crack?

Aren't the frame and motor already black?
