Moped Army

I've been working on this guy for the last year. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed stressing out over getting it finished. I like how beat up he is so I'm keeping him that way. The key to a successful relationship is not trying to change the other person, right?

The frame, forks and swingarm came from AJ last February.



The tank and most of the other odds and ends came from Creature Mattw and jimmy I sporadically bought the stuff for the motor and built it over the summer and started piecing him together.

Everyone goes through an awkward phase.



I was going to leave him like that but it looked too much like brendan's minimagnum (before blueing up) and i got a good deal on some 5 stars and found a real LTD dash (in town, no less!) so i went all out. Plus I knew in my heart that he deserved better.

All grown up-

Super special thanks to every already mentioned, and also to Jaker (for making fun of me for not finishing this sooner), and Timr (for his winning smile and a busted E50)
