Bosozoku Scooters

Bosozoku (暴走族 = lit, violent running tribe) according to Wikipedia:

Bosu Mag

"is also applied to motorcycle subculture with an interest in motorcycle customizing, often illegal, and making noise by removing the mufflers on their vehicles so that more noise is produced. These bōsōzoku groups also engage in dangerous or reckless driving, such as weaving in traffic, not wearing motorcycle helmets, and running red lights"

Anime Charaters

 I've seen many of these biker gangs around my area.  You definitely can hear them coming.  Their bikes are "supaa urasai" (really loud).  I always thought they were Japan's version of the obnoxious Harleys.  In any case, their bikes are fully customized looking like something out of a Karmen Rider V3 episode:

Two Stroke Porting Basics

I'm always on the prowl for a good read about two stroke porting.  I found a good one on a Singapore scooter site who got it from a UK two stroke racing site.  It explains the two stroke process pretty well.  There's some tips I used in the past as well as some new information I didn't know.  In any case, I hope this expands your two stroke tuning minds as it did mines:

Digital Speedo on da Cheap

Since I've been traveling further distances with my Puch in Japan, I needed an odometer to keep track of my mileage (or in my case kilometers).  I also needed to keep track of my speeds since in Japan, the law states the max speed your allowed to go depends on your engine's displacement.  I registered my Maxi as a 75cc because of my Gila kit.  So I'm allowed to go a maximum speed of 60 km/h.  That's only 37.28 mph!!!  If I registered it as a 50cc, I would only be allowed to go a maximum speed of 30 km/h (18.64 mph)!!!
