Doesn't everyone?



The 4-wheel trucks look good, and the little 'smart' cars look like a lot of fun.

It does look like a lot of fun, doesn't it. I wonder how it would compare in performance to the Honda Grom? I'm sure it would certainly cost much less than the Grom.

Okay, the Zongshen Rapido is specified at 7.7 hp, and the fuel injected Grom is specified at 10.0 hp.

That's fixable. Bolt a 140cc Piranha in the Rapido, and hang on.

The Madass comes to mind but it is too small but that is the general idea of what I am imagining.

CSC is in the process of homolugating the TT250. Sounds like just what you describe.

Cheers,

Up Periscope

Guys and Gals:

We're doing a live Periscope broadcast tomorrow on chain replacement. Most of you folks are already on top of this, but if anybody wants to see how it's done, we'll show it tomorrow. We're starting the broadcast at 9:00 a.m. PST. Instructions on how to watch it are on the CSC blog. You'll have to send us a note that you want to follow us (our Periscope name is CSC Motorcycles) and I have to approve it for you to see us before we start the broadcast.

Join China Riders, and improve you vocabulary. Thank you, Dan.

The word for today is, 'homologate.'
