MINIMOTO <--- clicky
I know nothing about these things but I got my hands on an italian minimoto; a polini 910 carena s 6.2hp water-cooled 2-stroke.
It’s about 6pm and I just got home from work. I’ve got about 45mins or so before sundown to make this video. After I put everything together, mixed the gas/oil, I took it to a parking lot for her maiden ride.
I keep looking around for cops, I don’t want them to confiscate my new toy. I should be okay since this swimming pool parking lot is closed for the season. I pre-load the combustion chamber with a couple of pulls and fire it up, letting the motor warm up for a few minutes before riding so I don’t ‘cold-seize’ the engine. While it warms up I rush to get my gloves on because the motor might stall. That’s when I realize I forgot to bring my helmet (gear nazis, no ‘squid’ cracks please).
I brought my little red handheld GPS to see how fast I go (26.2mph). I slowly head out to scrub in the tires and begin with the first heat cycle of the engine.
THIS LITTLE BUGGER RIPS!
(you’re not getting your 7 mins back…)
