DiTech posse chit chat.....

THEY ARE AROUNND, not too many but they were sold here for a short time so they do exist more than others.... this one was sold as a US 2005 but i read the last yr of production was the end of 03. the back end is "BEEFY" and looks cool, the front end im not so sure....

One of the most amazing scooters I have ever had the privlage of owning and riding. Those Dragsters are rare. I will forever miss mine.

[Rosscofat]

I love the look of the scoot.. front end,.. eh what is the engine?

[Alexandar]

Dragster is nice looking but its physically very small something like zip maybe a little bigger anyway every scooter from italjet is very rare and the parts for them also,
i have a friend here that owns Italjet Formula 125 twin cylinder and i can say the scooter is very fast but its prone to defects thats why this guy bought one more formula just for parts and now the crankshaft connecting rod is damaged and the scooter is two seasons in garage for the fact that he can find parts with decent price and he owns the two samples of italjet formula 125 in the whole republic

With other words amazing scooters, but the final quality is on much lower level than aprilia or some other italian brand

That one is a Minarelli, Horizontal 50cc 2T

The one I sold last night was a Piaggio 180cc 2T

I wanted the Yellow SR50, but was told they were never imported to the US.

Anyway, this was one of the related/recommended videos to that Dragster. It looks to be the game that some member (I forget who) has as his avatar. I've been trying for years to figure out what game it is in his avatar so I can play it. It looks like an arcade game (maybe there is a home port?), but that is what MAME is for. Anyone know what game this is?


Edit: Found it, it's "Radikal Bikers" from 1998.

Edit 2: To play the arcade version (comes with its own buggy emulator, but also works with MAME), download it here, or here.

MRP bought all their importers parts after they went bankrupt

Oooh man, I just redid part of the transmission with new gear oil and a new Polini belt. Sanded and cleaned the clutch pads a little bit and greased everything back up. Boyo is this mofo faaaaaaaaasssssst. I must be hitting 50 easy now, with some tourqe still left in reserve to pass cars. Cant wait till I get some 7.2gr Dr Pulleys in that vario and a ZMR... It almost feels like im riding a motorcycle this thing is stupid fast.

[MeepMeep]

does anyone know anything about the benellis? the x50 in particular? they look to use the minarelli and also apear to be italian but cheaper than most. are they crap?

Snugg? im sure you know.....

First to guess what this is wins one, or a cookie, winners choice.

Sleeve for the bolt that holds the engine to the frame? lol

Thx for the santa post

Nope.

Maybe this will help. It's the original sketch I made (the person I was originally going to have make it doesn't typically work with CAD files... at least not that I know of). If my old drafting teacher saw this he'd kick my ass.

Thx for the santa post

What? Me? I'm not Santa.

A Morini Crankshaft Seal setting tool...

What do I win?

It's a Piaggio Crankshaft Seal setting tool. You win one (Lead time 1 second to 1 billion years. I only had the one made... no idea when I'll make another.) or a cookie, which ever you prefer.

[Grenadiers]

LOL!! Well, if you ever have one made for setting the seals on a Morini, I'll be happy to take that!! But, if that tool isn't in the cards, a cookie will also do...

That tool should speed up a rebuild a wee bit!!
