It works. but it can always work better.






So I put it all on and took it for a spin. 

seems to work awesome! 

got to 42 (A.k.a topped the speedo out) in my ally. speed tears did happen. bummed i had to stop.

its jetted way rich right now but i'll fix that soon. still ripped even thought it was/is jetted wrong. 

I'm now waiting for a puller to come from treats so I can put my new murdered out case back together. siked to the max! 

my first try at a gbd bleach shirt. so far so good.

so far so good







Took the parts to the bike shop I worked at to finish the lil block up.

it looks like it'll fit on just fine without cuting into the inside of it. 

drilled the holes and put it on. dremeled the holes so it would end up going on.

seems to work out a-ok so far. 

got the case halfs in a parts washer to try to clean em up. helped a little.

off to buy some stuff to get the carb on. 








puch again

no title below. oops.















so i I don't know how to get the pictures right and I want to make my polini faster. 

 step one... match that case.

step two. make it a four pedal reed block. 

I have a few pics of the crap i did today. 

I matched the case a week or so ago and added the bost port on to the top of the case. ran fine with out it so it should help it rip now. 

I wanted to add the 4 pedal reed block with out cutting fins off a polini, riser block!

 I had nothing that I thought would work until... I looked at this old broken up stock e50 cylinder and started to line things up. 

went for it. 

smashed the fins off so i didnt have to cut that much more off with a hack saw. 

cut it with extra room on the sides. 

looks like it'll work just fine. just enough over the fin even with out gaskets on.

used a bench sander to make sure the lil chunk was flat and would seal up on both ends. 

Now i just have to bust out my dremel and shave it into a nice square ish shape. the cylinder has just a little bigger hole then the rest of the intake but i think it should still work. if it doesn't then I make a new on.

more pics of the block soon.
 Also the 2 pedal reed is not going on this but it did get into the project pic. Don't worry aj I'm not trying to make a 6 pedal reed monster. maybe next summer. hmm .3 .35 .4 ???

project time!!

PUCH?!?!

So in the last few days i have pick up 3 new mopeds, Puch Maxi N, a FreeSpirit and a Columbia commuter  ...might pick up 1 or 2 more in the next few days.  I know, I know these are not Garelli's or even close but oh well I have a freaking problem.



My plan was to buy this freespirit get it running and sell it, but man is this thing awesome. 
Man I love it!


This is a beautiful maxi N! The pedal spindle was very bent so it got cut.
It breaks my moped loving heart a little bit but this moped is going to my oldest friend Paul & his new wife Lisbeth.I hope you like it!
Now go ride off into the sunset you crazy kids!


Ps. the Columbia Commuter is beat. You want it? It has potential....? Come get it.

The Boss


The boss pipe has been installed. We chopped up an old garelli header, matched it up to a boss pipe. It really works pretty well. It definitely gives me more power than when I had the bi turbo on there.

RIT or DYE!

Droo decided to make his bad dude jacket more bad dude by rit dying it black.


Then we Rit dyed every piece of clothing we could find anywhere around the garage. I'll post pictures of my purple-ish black v-neck next week.

A Garelli Not






So for the past few days i have put my Garelli aside and have been working on my Ciao. All I can think about is making the Ciao awesome. So saturday I finished fabricating the top tube and welded it in.


It turned out alright seeing as how this was the first time i have ever welded anything. I figured  i've seen my dad weld plenty of times it can't be that hard...  well it is. 





I add a "gusset" to the top tube where it butts up with the head tube to give it a bmx look . haha I'm pretty hyped on it..
