Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

I forgot to post a "progress update..." Lots of progress lately; I now have an awesome stopping-system up front. I have used all HRC NSR50 parts, with the exception of a specially-made Spiegler front brake hose and hardware, and a 220mm Sunstar Japan disc rotor, which should be here in a c...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

...Great reading as always guys; the NS50F thread here is the best and is really growing. Thanks for posting your stories, motomec. I remember reading your story about how you would find scooters that had been abandoned by students at the end of the semester. It was years ago that I had stumbled acr...

Re: Ubly Minibike dragraces pics and vids!

Jamz that's AWESOME, dude! I had a Rupp Roadster when I was 12... I would have loved to go to the mini-bike show! One of these years I plan to restore a vintage minibike.. But that comes AFTER I first find and restore a vintage McCulloch powered 1970's Kart! Ive always loved the karts of the 70's. I...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Hey motomech, I read your NS50 article a very long time ago; really good stuff dude; the fact that you went to the dealer and bought a new NS50F is really cool! -I'm 32 now, and can remember going to the Honda dealer and seeing the NS50F in 1990 and thinking it was such a cool bike. -great to have y...

Re: New Guy With A Gyro

Wow- :shock: :shock: :love: That would be my favorite Gyro model... Right down to the Neptune Blue color. You did VERY well on that purchase, Bruce. Finding a Gyro in that shape is really rare these days! "Resident" forum member "motormike" is our Gyro authority, racer, and exper...

Re: Scooters Getting Respect

Honda Thailand has been around for years... One of the most sought-after Honda Monkey engines, the "Honda Nice 110" (no longer in prod) was / is THE engine to have. A close Thai buddy made a few calls for me back in 04, and a couple thousand "golds" later... A brand NEW Honda Nic...

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Re: 28mm Carb Users: Look at This Part!

Hey Jamz, Dam dude... Sorry bro; seemed like it would have been designed for the most common flange in existence. :sad: Shoot me an email with the total you paid for it, And I will buy it from you for the $ ya have in it.

Re: Does anyone else own a Honda NS 50?

Hmm... If GKinTN rides a red MB with a black Hoemoet Pipe, I remember seeing him. There was a ton of MB's there, and a lot of NS's as well. Definitely a fun ride, despite the rain last year! I like to start at the back of the group with the moped guys, and see how many I can pass. Well; it will be a...
