nearly blew this guy off the road....(in my mirrors > he went into a tank slapper. Though it might have been from laughing...)

here you can see the speedo on its second lap around the dial...pushing 140mph...

that new clutch is really humming...

coming over I-70 it got a little shaky on re-entry.....

does that create a sonic boom when you're approaching those speeds?...or do you have to break the speed of sound, first, to get a boom?  :)

You don't get a single boom when a scoot reaches those speeds but rather a cascading crumble

Don't know about you guys - but every time I fix my scooter....I wonder if it'll still work😊
So, a little happy when it does.
