72 MPH moped?

My scoot hit 72mph. Down the hill on 161 close to the Iron Pony. 50cc bike, brought to 75cc, a 21mm Del 'Orto carb, Technigas exhaust, and Malossi variator and weights.

Ordinary flat top speed was about 65, but it could accelerate like a scalded kitten. I loved flying down Morse Road on it when I lived in Westerville. Picture of said bike is in my albums, and it's still in the area, sold locally.:)

Haha, thats a good one - 72mpgh maybe? :D

Guy I knew that had a 50cc "pocketrocket" stuffed a 125cc Garelli scooter engine in it......was damn fast then but hard to shift without snaggin toes on the street under the pegs......guess inverted linkage would have helped, but funny to see a 2ft tall mini do some burnouts! :lol:

Oh, wasnt pokin' at u RFM.....talkin about the ad
