Smile I got my Track day Scooter!!!

Kick'n it old school!!!!


Man Im so excited!!! I used to have one of these back in the day!!! I got this KENT brand scooter on Craiglist for $40 bucks!!!! Owner told me that its AT least circa 1985!!!

I didnt want that electric crap! screw dat! I wanted old school - keep it real scooter.........none of that little skateboard wheel RAZOR crap either! LoL...




It has 14x2.125 inch wheels, lots of thread left on the rubber and shitty brakes!
I plan to order some spare tubes online at a mobility scooter website and gonna hit up the local bike shop for some new cables and brakes.

If you look close, it has the threaded holes in the rear for "PEGS"!!!! LoL....I'm gonna make some so i can give Conky rides!!! LoL....

Sweet I always wanted one when I was young. (Parents too poor to buy one for me.)

Jason, you should put white tires on them.

The infamous Mini-Bike of Death! Responsible for more track road rash on the West Coast then any other pit vehicle during the early 2000s. It was last seen at El Mirage running through the SCAT timing lights at 47.6 mph.

My friend had a yellow mini bike, until I tried to ramp it and trashed it. My bad C-Homes.

I miss building ramps and then breaking bones and machinery on them. If it's got wheels I've probably ramped it at some point in my life.

Bike, Wagon, rollerblades, 240sx, skateboard, jet ski, gas powered scooter, moped, four-wheeler, dirt bike, golf cart, my mom's 1990 Volvo station wagon, Jeep Wrangler hunting vehicle with people in the raised rear seat. I've probably gotten the Z pretty close at some point.

Don't believe me. I've got some pretty mean road rash in various places of my body.
