This is the thread it takes me to if I click the HR link. The only other link in the VA section is for Fredricksburg.

Hey, im pretty new to the scooter crowd, but i have been messing with motor driven cycles for a while. You see, i get a project, deck it out how i like it (performance mods and the like) then i sell it to fund the next project. Its something i enjoy doing and keeps me out of trouble (ok, im not really the type to get into trouble  ) This was/is my last project    I rode that thing around alot. I built it from the frame up, raking the frame out to 45*, building the fork, etc etc. It has 7 speeds and does about 40mph (35 with wind) Now, i picked up a scooter for $200 from a buddy who bought it at a police auction (it was Repo'd.....seriously.....who cant pay a damn scooter payment?!)  It was dropped on the right side... but not too bad. It broke the right mirror off and scuffed the paint on the fairing a little.... but thats about it. I have since put a 72cc BBK on it as well as a unlimited CDI and heavier rollers. I see 45 mph cruising and so far, 50mph max. (driving behind cars... so that helps break the wind) Anyways, i would like to meet up and do a marathon ride out to like jamestown and back or something like that. I am located in Yorktown, but go to school at ODU...so i live at ODU but come home on the weekends. Anyone up for a ride? |

One of these days I'll hit the police auctions get a few of them to fix up and have to ride/sell.
So is your scoot in Yorktown or at ODU? If it's at ODU, how do you plan on legally getting to the other side of the water?

oh, right now it is in Yorktown. Im debating on whether or not to bring it to ODU or not. Im not riding it on the interstate.... no way no how, haha. I will probably end up transporting it by truck.
otherwise i will caulk the seams on it and float it across the river. Hopefully i wont get swamped and lose my supplies. Ill never get to oregon if that happens.

Well by Virginia state law, since it's only a 50cc scoot, you aren't legally allowed to ride it on the interstate (unless you get it tagged and titled as well as insured). You also aren't allowed to ride at speeds greater than 35 MPH without it being registered and all that jazz.
Anyways I'm in Norfolk myself in the Oceanview area. If I ever manage to get a good running scoot again I wouldn't mind taking a ride (if this weather ever decides if it wants to be summer or winter)

there was one in va beach for 100 bux recently. It ran too!
Check it out, might still be there, but probably not. haha.
I am working on a guy's scooter down there near 4th view. by the bridge. Poor guy. I had to replace his crank shaft, rebuild his engine (scraping out all of the metal shavings and sludge) upon other things. After all of that, it still didnt run. I have to replace his stator.

Hello All,
I am not sure how active this forum is, but I live in Hampton VA and would be interested in being part of a scooter group. Let me know if you ever found one or got one started. Thanks!
