I'm still waiting in line...
Is there a promised land
Or am I on the journey going to nowhere?
Are the streets paved with gold
Or am I slipping on the mold that slowly grows there?

Well, screw that ride and ride something else.

Like bumper cars, I tried that a few weeks ago since years, and boy, was it so much fun. Especially, hoarding up all the kids in a group like sheep, then ramming the shit out of them. ho ho ho

The problem I have with bumper cars is that you have to either pay lots of money to ride them, wait in a long ass line, or both.

Go-Karts are cooler. Drakarts with around 180 bhp ain't bad either.

You should come live in Romania, people don't have bank accounts here :D
Me? I'm saving money to at least change the engine on my dad's 20 year old motorcile, of course adding a stronger engine is dangerous but who gives a dam? I'm gonna make it fly...

Bike: IZH Jupiter 4 with an 350.00 ccm (21.36 cubic inches) engin in 2 strokes that gives 27.00 HP (19.7 kW)) @ 6000 RPM, this takes me to a maximum of 125.0 km/h (77.7 mph) at wich it won't last too long, it rides easy at 100 km/h (60 mph).
Two stroke engines are faster than four stroke ones but die quicker so I'm thinking of adding a 500 ccm engine (30.46 cubic inches) in 4 strokes that would have 40 - 50 HP, this could take me to a cruising speed of 130 - 140 km/h which is good enough to start with, after I'll earn enough experience with this bike (a year or two) I'll try to buy a modern fast bike like a Kawasaky Ninja :)

You'll keep the old one, right? Sounds like a fun project, is it in good condition? A blue one?

Ha, it is blue, how the hell did you know? And why not keep it? I might even be stuck with it :) + I would only get 400$ for it and it's worth more than that.

None of these is mine but they are the same model, the light blue one (1984) is of the closest color. I even have the side cart (or what ever it's called) that the dark blue one (1983) has.

You should add the hydrolics, the dvd player with flip up 16 centimeter screen, 8,000 watt radio, Paint that changes colour with every angle of the sun, etc.

I was thinking about getting a dodge tomahawk myself.
But of course, I would have to work out the precautions of wind resistance while going 300 miles per hour (330,257,238,579 kilometes per hour) which would surely blow the rider off the bike to skidd on the pavement.

ha. blow the rider off.

I said I want 50 HP not 500, the tomahawk has 10 cilinders and a gas tank so small it probably lasts less than 30 min at max speed :)

I saw an IZH once.
I know where I could get a really cheap Tempo Panter. 50 ccm. Worth looking at?

Well.. in Romania it's legal to ride a bike/scooter without a license as long as it doesn't have more than 49 ccm... if it's the same where you live you might be able to drive it, it's usefull because you get to learn a few things, the experience you could earn with it (in bouth driving and fixing it) will most certanly prove usefull.. but only buy it if it's REALLY cheap, and keep in mind that it's just your school bike.
I have to admit it doesn't look bad :)

What do they do to you if you're caught riding without a license¿

It's BAD, you might never legaly drive again, go to prison and pay a huge ticket (thou I'm not sure).
It's esspecialy interesting when you get caught riding someone elses bike, if he admits he gave it to you he goes to jail and/or has a lot of trouble, if you don't want to get him in trouble and admit you took the bike without him knowing you go to jail for stealing :)
But no one will stop to ask you anything with a 50 ccm engine, you can see it's small.

It's not legal in Norway to drive without a license. The maximum legal speed on a moped/scooter here is 45 km/h. As you probably understand, the authorities is nearly 'begging' the youth to modify their mopeds. It's actually dangerous to drive that slow, imagine what happens if a huge trailer comes behind you in an uphill in 80 km/h.

The cops know about how some of my friends drive mopeds, illegally. They've never been caught. But I live in 'Teh Woods' so it's not that much Police here. Some people actually say it's a Mecca if you want do drive illegal. The moped is cheap, but the front rim is not original so you can turn the handlebars too much to the sides. Haven't looked at it yet, but I know they guy that's selling it so I could probably get it a bit cheaper than he wants.
