Just took the first spin on me old p125x after a complete engine build , it's 17 degrees out so not exactly tuning weather but nothing beats that first ride feeling so I powered around the block on ice freezing my nuts off 🤣


Now I know I know, the scooter looks like doo doo but it's a work in progress

Short list of the build :

VMC crono 177
(0.4mm base, 1mm head, 1.4 squish)
Mazz 60mm crank
Phbh 28
Vape ign
23/65
Mallosi sport exhaust


Hope everyone is staying warm today

Hell, yeah!

I've done exactly that sort of thing a few times myself. For being miserable, it sure does feel good.

You my friend are freaking nuts! Wha? emoticon I'd be afraid of dumping it on a patch of ice! Hurting the scoot, myself, or both!

Hec, it's like a skating rink out here 😂 I wasn't going too crazy though, never even got past like 1/4 throttle blips in 2nd. Just wanted to make sure everything was jiving together as it should.

Good man - you getting it done! Anyone can sit around during the winter, stay inside in the warm and look out the window. Kudos!
