1983 red , Honda aero NH80 for $400. Cosmetically its in fair condition, but mechanically everything works great. Honda made these for only 3 years and they have a 2 stroke engine - 80cc engine. The auto oil injector must do a great job, because my scooter does not emit the normal white puffs of smoke that 2 strokes are known for. Its also astoundingly quiet for a 2 stroke.


Its fully automatic with top speed around 40-45 MPH. The surprising thing is how quickly it moves from a dead stop and how good it is at maintaining 30mph going up steep roadways.


My odometer says 3500 miles but many owners claim they get 10,000 or more miles before needing any type of top end rebuild/ rings.


Suppose to get 80-100 mpg . Im combatting global warming in my own way, dont need any politicians taxing me more. :lol:


heres a stock photo. Mine isnt this clean cosmetically.

Did you know that many 2 strokes are dirtier than modern cars? real sad thing about older scoots/motos like that.

Looks ripe for a conversion.. lotta good scooter hub motors out there and you've got plenty of battery space ;)

Yeah...I knew 2 strokes run dirtier then 4 strokes but like I said, this scooter does not blow out the constant white smoke like many 2 strokes...in fact the exhaust is clear like a 4 stroke bike would be
...I like 2 strokes because they are easier to work on.
 
So this missing smoke is what would be cooling the chamber. My guess is you'll have a hammered piston in no time if you don't richen the mixture.

Two cycles aren't normally what they refer over to the toxic section, but I can see your point putting it here.

Seeing as how that buffoon Trump is your hero, I'm surprised that you didn't buy something that runs on coal.

You and Dark Angel should start a seminar group on how fun it is to let your uncontrollable hatred of Trump, turn a person into a miserable , non objective and pathetic human being.


Tell us all, what has Trump done, that has personally affected you so badly in your own life, that causes you to display such endless and uncontrollable hatred for him ?


This is a question I used to ask to rightwingers who displayed similar endless hatred towards Obama....of course those rightwingers never had a real answer, just like the liberal Trump haters never have a real answer.

The fact of the matter is simple. You and millions of others, relish in your endless hatred towards Trump. It fills a void in your life and your soul. Get a fkin life...start a garden , learn to play a instrument . Its pathetic for you to use up so much of your time on hatred of a president, especially when that president lowers your taxes, wants to enforce SAFE borders, and have a strong military to protect YOU and your country.

You stupid ass libs.

So what about us centrists who expressed our ire and his runaway spending, race baiting, all around fascism. . . .?

Oh, wait, that's HAVING real answers, isn't it.

Except they can't play, they don't have room in their heart or yard for a garden. Don't you think if they KNEW how to get a life they would have already?

Just back from checking on a guy I grew up with. Ran into his dad last week, sounded bad. He has a business right by me and I saw he left early. The short answer is he still hasn't gotten over his idiot wife leaving him, even as everyone tells him he should be on top of the world.

So I have real reasons to be dragging, he seems to just be doing it to himself. So why do I seem so much better off? Maybe because I'm the one who can push the problems aside and go check on someone else. (Are you still reading, trolls?) I told him a little about my dad, whom I lost when I was in school. Dang, he still has his. . . .

Remember when Reagan supporters in school we're called 'Hitler Youth?' They never had a moment that compares to the oh so many nights of the long knives after the presidential election.

Ah well, the number one thing to be angry with Obama over was proving me wrong, a rare thing. I said he couldn't possibly be as bad as Bush, here he was worse.

Or did you just buy that scooter to piss them off more.

Ah well, when I started saying Trump was the next president 18 months before the election, people said I was taking his ongoing candidacy well. Oh the reaction they expected. Instead I decided to figure out whatever good things might come of it and pass up the stressing that 16 years of Dubya and O Duce had caused.

His candidacy brought the benefit of stopping Hillary and making a much ignored segment feel they finally had their president. It also caused upset among many of the self serving. (Yeah, trolls, YOU.)

Still waiting on most of the benefits his presidency could bring. I wish he'd make a LITTLE more progress.

I for one would say to go after him IF there. Is something real from Mueller, which there doubtfully will be. But after all the squawking about the "Lock her up" talk, the will again prove their talk about we don't lock up Political does goes only one way with them. Typical. When Jake Tapper whines about Trump's tweets with "What if Obama did this?" I can only say shut up, fool. Obama did it all the time, he didn't need twtter because YOU and others flitted his hatefulness about like it was a good thing. Another reason to have been angry about Obama.

Dauntless, if you read my posts, you will see I am also critical of Trump....his lies, his adultery, his fiscal spending ,etc.

With that said, these above actions are nothing new with presidents. Its been going on for eons and will continue. Bill Clinton was a master in the arts of adultery and lies.


Yes, I criticize Trump even for his silly tweets , but I also realize that Trump probably does many of those tweets, to inflame the dumb liberals , and the dumb liberals CONTINUALLY fall for it. This proves that Trump can easily troll dumb libs on a regular basis, so in the end, it is kinda funny.


Even though I criticize Trump, I also recognize the positive things he has done, and there are MANY positive things but the Trump haters dont wanna hear about it or compliment it. The never Trumpers have proudly embraced a idealogy of "


"HATE TRUMP AND EVERYTHING HE DOES OR SAYS, AT ALL COSTS"

and IMHO, this type of retarded mentality, is more dangerous to our nation, then anything Trump has tweeted or done from a policy standpoint so far.
 
So Trump's aparent incompetence and stupudity is really just an act to troll liberals? If that's a thing, surely GWB invented it?!

I am confident that Trump is far from stupid. In fact, I would bet money his IQ is higher then average and higher then many liberals who hate him. I also doubt that Trump is incompetent. Becoming a billionaire real estate investor and building countless luxurious hotels and casinos, all over the world, is not a sign of incompetence. Furthermore Trump is against using drugs and even drinking alcohol....Anyone that claims these facts are signs that trump is stupid or incompetent, is probably stupid and incompetent themselves. But then again, liberals who hate Trump , because it has become fashionable for them to do so, do not think about such facts.

Now, if you wanna claim that Trump has been unfaithful to his wives, tells lies , is arrogant, etc...then I will agree with all that....but to claim hes stupid and incompetent...naaa.


Sure, Trump tweets and says some things that are off the wall and sometimes annoying, harsh or incorrect/lies . As much as I wish he didn't do it, the positive factor in it, is it pisses off braindead liberals who are gonna hate Trump, no matter what. So maybe Trump is one of the best troll presidents in history ? He knows how to troll and annoy, those liberals who are already addicted to the "hate Trump at all costs" mental illness.

I seriously doubt, we have had a president in recent years, that was as dumb as Bush Jr came across to be. The man could barely speak properly on many of his speeches/interviews. It wouldn't surprise me, if people behind the scenes like Rumsfeld, Cheney or even Bush Sr, were really running most of the white house, under Bush Jrs term.
 
Among the warning signs of Obama:

Numerous occasions when women such as Kamala Harris walk past and --- The look.

Obama going on about "What a good looking woman, I mean. . . ."

The baseball game, the blond woman O Duce got chatty with, the First Lady moving O Duce so she could put herself between them.

Damn, with Duceeee right there, she called herself a single mother.

These sort of things going on with Trump, or even Clinton, imagine the press coverage and analysis.

And much of what Trump is doing IS deliberate, 2 cycle scooter or not. The dumb get dumber when they're poked by the prez and are upset. Look at the trolls here, they can't tell the difference between the President and a Honda, they're so crosseyed. Which is why Bruce Springsteen says Trump has already won in 2020. Earlier than I called 2016.

Oh, are you flailers getting upset again? Is rumme STILL not letting you ride his scooter? Do you even remember why I keep bringing up the SCOOTER?
 
He's not much of a businessman: he got all his money from daddy and lost most of it. He'd be richer if he'd just invested it.

Keep an eye out for the upcoming film "Vice" about bush and cheney.

I guess when Cheney dies, we will have another " national day of mourning" and be hammered with endless lies from the tv/media of how he was such a honest, honorable and humane person. Lies, lies and more fkin lies.

This is Trumps worst issue. The way he represents USA and democracy is just disruptive. Let a man who cannot control his words or actions, (let alone be polite to people who deserve it) be president.. He can only get away with being a bully because he is in a powerful position but in reality USA is suddenly no more than a banana republic.

If you want an example, then watch any of the "trump handshakes" videos on youtube.

Who wants to cooperate and negotiate with a guy that's out to bully you? Who thinks that's the way the world should work?

He's well on his way of making us closer to war again, only this time we have a harder time seeing USA as the good guy..

And by the way.. Where's the scooter conversion thread :D

Whether Trump gets us into another big war, based upon lies and defending the greenbacks status as world currency and oil agendas, remains to be seen. I am happy that so far, we havent had another big war under Trumps administration. To me, this is something that deserves mention in a positive way { but the never trump crowd, refuse to admit it } .


By the way, dont be fooled....most of the previous multiple wars in recent years, we have started or engaged in, weren't really done in the name of honesty, nobleness and spreading freedom and democracy. That was mostly bullshit propagandas from the previous administrations...ESPECIALLY Bush....

I am of the opinions anyways, that most large wars, are " banker wars" done mainly for their benefits/control upon a society via monopolies and control of finance, oil , natural resources , politicians aborad, etc.

If yo uthought those previous wars of recent year by the U.S...were wars where the U.S. was the " good guy" and all the other nations and people were the " bad guys" , I think you have fallen to deeply for the lies and propagandas . Kinda like " UNCLE SAM, WANTS YOU TO JOIN THE WAR EFFORTS" …..brainwashing and propagandas at its finest.

I was being kind enough to go back in history to world war 2.. It's safe to say that if American soldiers hadn't helped then we would possibly be ruled by nazis now.

After 1945 it's more unclear.. :D
