  • We found a JDM scooter dealer in LA, and he had some hilarious stuff for sale. We settled on 2 Honda Gyros. C-Milk's is a 2001, and Winston's is a 1994. Both are salvaged from Kyushu, Japan. We are going to fix them, get them in tip top order, and take them on an adventure. It'll be a challenge with a 1 gallon gas tank, and a top speed of about 25-30 mph, but hey, that's the fun, isn't it?

      I went through every comment, and NOBODY wants to know what turbo engine audio you used on the intro. Please let me know, because it's annoying the hell out of me.
      Edit: I heard the other day that an actual horse has 15hp, so technically the Gyro has .26hp, so yeah.

    GYRO or PSYCHO? OK, I really did not see something like this coming. Which, is part of the channel's charm. I have to assume you won't be climbing any (at least not in a hurry) hills and freeways are out, so local roads traversing quiet spaces are a better choice. I suppose you could trailer them somewhere, but you're talking about a vehicle that would not look out of place on a golf course. This is going to be very entertaining.

  • @michaeloki7409

    I had a Yamaha quad/4 wheeler that used oil injection like this. If you know the correct ratio of gas to oil, it should be as simple as disconnecting and blocking off the lines/connections running from the pump, tank, and carb. Then simply mix the correct amount of oil into your gas.

    You can get a Chinese 125cc 4 stroke engine with everything you need for just over $400 off Amazon. It is electric start, automatic clutch, 3 speed forward and 1 speed back, comes with the ignition switch, throttle sensor, and wiring harness. The only thing you need is a muffler and to rig up some sort of cable for the shifter. It wont smoke so bad and you could do around 55-65. I would love a bike like that thing.

      Oh, the speed limit for 50 cc scoots in Japan (or at least I know in Kyushu) is 30 klm's p/h !!! sooo weak. If you have a bigger bike licence you can get a red number plate which allows up to 50 k an hour I think. Most 50 cc scoots in good nick can top 85 klm's p/h. Mine is either full throttle or on the brakes, there is no in between.
