Ultimate scooter

Man, someone has wayyyyyy too much time on their hands.

A scooter with an intercooler, turbocharger, and NOS.

Sorry if you've seen this before. I just thought I would post it for fun.

I think theres a video of that scooter racing a TA. The TA had NO2 also and the scooter won in the 1/4. Also if thats the scooter in the vid, its a kid who owns it, I think he was like 15 or somthin like that.

I think the racing scooter was just a hopped up Go-Ped Scooter. I'll vouch for them, even stock, those suckers are fast!!

Scroll down where it says "Video clips from the net"
Its the 10th one down right below the video titled "Nick lost a shoe", the goped vid it titled "Goped take 2"
I think it might be fake but still funny. And its not the scooter in the pic like I originally thought.
