I'd meant to load these sooner, but just forgot, but speaking of crazy scooters, here are two I found in Thailand. These are on the island of Koh Panang. I didn't see anything like them on Koh Samui, Koh Tao or Bangkok.

There are lots of little details, like carbon fibre looking bits, uside down forks and low-pro tire. SLAMMED! Hope you like them...

Nice video

That last scooter with the skinny tires looked like it'd be a fun ride

I like the "50cc's of fury" comment.

heh

last time I wheelied the vespa i broke the clutch cable :laughing:

Plus the suspension leaves a lot to be desired, especially for my 6'3" 250 lb frame, so these days I try to keep both wheels on the ground.
It helps that the bike is in pieces in my storage unit too...
