Exclamation Cool, free performance upgrade!

Due to the current state of the economy, I have been forced to put expensive performance upgrades for the scoot on the back burner.

Unfortunately..... expensive home cooked meals; beer, soda pop, fast food, and going out to eat have also been put on the chopping block.

The good news is due to the declining economy, and my frugal consumption of food......... I've lost 11 pounds (I'm shooting for 40 lbs.).

Besides being healthier I've received an additional benefit....... My scoot accelerates faster, gets better gas mileage, and the tires will last longer, all due to the reduced weight it has to carry around!

A great big fat juicy steak, with a fully loaded baked potato and a beer sure would hit the spot right now........... Dieting sucks!

I hear ya. The wife and I are trying to limit our portion sizes and what we eat- no more fried taters ! Should be easier on the bike, though.

I went on a diet to make my dragbike faster, 40lbs does make a difference and the wimmins liked it better also.

That has always been the key to better performance - reduce weight

+1 We all grumble about the weight of the Harley, but what about the weight of the rider? If I lost 25 pounds my scoot would have alittle more steam...

Relieving myself in the Men's room the other day a friend was at the other urinal made the statement:
"Ain't seen my pecker in years."
I said "Why don't you diet?"
He said "Why what color is it now?"
