I think things will pic back up when Paul returns! Lots of guys sign on get help and then you don't see them again till the next problem crops up! Maybe they are like me and have 5 or 6 other forums to keep up with!

Nitros in the woods. Not for Me. Pine trees hurt more the faster you hit them.

I think the only place for nitrous would be sand drags or hill climb!

Boondockers makes a kit that will bolt right on.  It fogs the airbox, so it is safer than straight injection too.

I come to think about my first moped I managed to sieze. I tried some starter gas  throuth the air box (stupid already as a kid). The end result was no hair on my right leg (I was wearing short trousers) and a toasted moped. Nasty flames!

Why would anyone want more uncontrollable power on a machine that has enough? I understand the "because I can" bit. For me, it's more because I cannot control it between all the things that buzz by me like trees and other riders...
