Almost got my Go-ped Stolen

[Clayman]

oh man... i just got attacked, and almost got my go-ped stolen.

so heres how it happened. I went out to ride my go-ped like i do almost every day, and as I was riding it on a big street by my house... a car about 50 yrds away from me drives onto the side walk on which i was riding... i saw 4 guys in there (about 18 -20 ) years old, and one guy gets out and starts running at me! i realize he is trying to steal my go-ped or kidnap me, so i turn around and start my go-ped, and as i am starting it, the car drives off the sidewalk, and back on the rode, and drives on the sidewalk about 15 feet away from me, so i just turn, turns the road, (fortuneately there weren't any other cars on the road), and start riding on the other side of the rode, and they just speed by me and i return hope shaking from the experience.

now i know to start carrying a pocket knife with me, but even if i did have i pocket knife, i wouldn'r have been able to use, it was all jsut so fast...

man... i'm still shaken up from it.

a go-ped is a motor scooter brand.

[Clayman]

yeah me2.. just realized how lucky i was.

[Alex]

get some NOS in it for the next time that happens.:P!

glad to see that your ok:)

[Clayman]

hey i know some people on a go-ped forum that actually did put NOS on a go-ped lol.

[stftk]

spets,

whats top speed on your go-ped.

I built my own motor scooter with a red goped frame and it goes 35mph with a 3hp chainsaw engine.

[mdipi]

hey that sucks. i have a yellow 2k2? liquimatic but i threw a sport clutch in so its like a sport now. it sucks cause you cant stop :( so i bought a 35cc bladez (www.eblaze.com) and that solved it hehe. 30mph my dad drove next to me and read it on the car. and i am gonna sup it up soon so wee! but i like my goped sitll cause its just light and sweet for jumping crap. glad your home safe though!

[reverendflash]

don't bring a knife to a gun fight...

in other words, don't bring a knife, they will just take it from you, and end up using it on you...

you did the right thing, just get away...

If you guys want an example of why sooping up Mopends and Go-pads is bad.. come to hawaii

Weekly the cops are peeling some stupid teenagers off the sidewalks for sooping up their engines..

[telekinesis]

You didn't get the license plate of the teenagers.


*whew*

Thought I was gonna get caught. . . . .

::kid-napping attempt #2 failed::

wow looks like someones gonna win the 2nd grade spelling bee. I wish I had a mopend and a go-pad.

Anyways, its not illegal to soup of engines. It may be illegal for someone to drive a go-ped/moped if under 16, but there is no law against souping up engines.

Stop being an a-hole.

yep im also too blind to read these posts and click the reply button.

[DigitalPimp]

one could only dream...

[stftk]

"Weekly the cops are peeling some stupid teenagers off the sidewalks for sooping up their engines.."

ahah. So when these teenages soup up their engines they get stuck into the ground, and then cops come and peel them off the sidewalk?

wow, hawaii sure sounds nice.

[DigitalPimp]

Are you sexually fustrated or just an assh0le?

[stftk]

heh, well im off to bed.

[RussianBeer]

Thanks Digital Pimp,
Some people never learn respect...

Apart from enlgish not being my first or even second language, the random forum is a relaxed atmosphere, and no one cares about spelling mistakes.

[TheOrangeOne]

who you callin an a - hole?

[Kajinku]

RussianBeer, you spelled "English" wrong. :P lol
Sorry, I just had to, just joking. :P

[TheOrangeOne]

ah! "stftk" is the a-hole! I agree.

He did do the right thing, but carrying a knife is not such a bad thing.

You just never know. Plus they did charge him. I am willing to bet if he buried that bad larry into into the dudes arm or leg they would bolt.

and never even attempt to steal some dudes shizzle again.

[Clayman]

heheh yeha man, and me and my dad did measure the spead, my dad was driving in a car by me, and i was driving, and we got 35MPH. but the longer you go on full speed, it increase a few miles.

[Clayman]

oh and thanks for the support guys! i appreciate it!:)

[Maxtr0sity]

A knife won't do, wip out one of those asian style swords and slice and dice.:P

=)

[andr.in]

Thank god you made it!

If that kinda thing happened around where I live it would be in the newspapers! Nothing happens here! You can walk on the street wearing a golden crown without anybody tryin' anything! :)

[Clayman]

hehe thanks man!

that would suck arse.

Not like I would like to get robbed. But I feel comfortable knowing I ccould potentially be.

Where is this "middle of nowhere" you are from dude?

[mdipi]

ahh cool. i am getting a preformace kit for mine, i dont know when though.

someone just died in soConn from not wearing a helmet and hitting a car (which from what i hear was at the fault of himself not the driver) so they are thinking of making them illigal w/o a license which is stupid becasue so many have been sold, it was his falt, and this is the only accident! i live in a neighborhood so i will still ride but i cant have fun and go around town untill i know a bit more about what is going on :(

[coreyem]

Knives suck. So do guns.

Cool kids carry mace, the tactical strength version- get one of the versions that foams (sprays out in a stream and sticks to your face), not fogs (sprays out in a fog and doesn't do much in the open air).

Knives leave cuts, guns leave bullet holes, but mace just makes 'em run away.

[fester8542]

Well smarty pants!

Maybe we like to be all cut up an full of holes.

Glad to see you make it back safe and sound spets. I guess your spider-sense wasn't working at that time :)

talk about insensitve...you dont want to kill the ppl, just make em run, i think mace would be better thann a kinife though.

Thanks for that Kirupa!

Forget mace, that stuff is for women. Go get some ninja stars and plant 1 in their chest and another in their back as they see that it was a mistake to mess with you and try to run away. ;)

Ninja stars own

[fester8542]

When I was a little tyke my buddy had one that was firggin sharp as hell.

I went to throw it at the wall and wound up cutting my hand open.

I bled like a siv.

[DigitalPimp]

rock on! They aren't that dangerous, I mean look your able to type fine now.

[coreyem]

Yeah, dude.
Ninja stars.
:ninja:

Has anyone figured out how to carry those things around? Not exactly like you can stick it in your back pocket...

[NeoDreamer]

In my hood, the neighbors don't abide by the law. 90% of them own a dog and about 80% of those owners don't leash them.

So I was on my bike and i see this unleashed dog. I quickly turned the other way and pedeled as fast as I could. Out of nowhere the dog got really fast and was up on my side barking. The owner told it to stop, but it didn't listen. It was going to kill me. For at least half a mile it was on my tail. Then it gradually got tired and sank back. Good thing I was riding my $600 aluminum bike at the time.

[mdipi]

that sucks, you should have kicked it! i know that sounds mean but you or a dog...


lol @ ninja stars!

and you stfutk...just his name is immature...you CS players should know what it means...

Yea good thing you were riding the $600 one because if you were riding the $500 one the dog would surely had eaten you.

600$ isn't that much to be bragging out dude... At least, that is how it came off to me.

[RelandR]

A guy could get in trouble carrying nearly any of the weapons suggested so far,

carry a baseball bat [not illegal]... anyone asks, you're on your way to the park

swing wildly and fast.... few will be able to get close

...BTW Spets, which street were you on - Florin Rd. ?

[Xpeder]

Hey I also have a go-ped i love mine :love:


I have an x-ped it is the same as a sport but it has a grind deck and beefy frame mine is alot like yours i have an ada pipe but not crome :( also k&n air filter with a 3rd baring and i just got this realy cool deck and some other littel stuff.

I also got mine jacked one time some shmoe toulk it right from my garage but later that day my bro cought him crosing an intersection and he chased him down and the kid ran like a cowerd i wish i was there i would have sent him to th hospital:angry: :evil: :trout: these things are alot of money to soup up i am thinking on buying a new engin for more speed.:run:

here are some pics

[Xpeder]

my deck

[coreyem]

This thread has been so educational for me, apparently there's a burgeoning scooter-mod subculture that I didn't even know about. It's like in Neuromancer, whole subcultures sprouting up overnight and dying out weeks later.

Crazy. I assume (and correct me if I'm being an idiot) that you guys who have these scooters are too young to get cars? Sounds like a lot of fun, I would have loved to have one of those things to tinker around with back then...

-C

[Xpeder]

Not to young "to cheap"

[mdipi]

yeah i am 13 so :-\

its 200 just for a pipe! i might just get a J Pipe save 150 bucks but if i get the perfomance kit then its like 275 and its a pipe airfilter carb and exaust...

[Clayman]

...BTW Spets, which street were you on - Florin Rd. ?

nah dude i live in the gated area and the street was pocket rd.

[Clayman]

whoa nice x-ped flash fool! looks awesome!

[Clayman]

yeah i am 13
hey i'm 13 too man! but my bro buys all of my stuff! :)

[reverendflash]

Sacto isn't that remote anymore...

and I have to say:

Do you realize that 40% of the fuel that goes thru your engine comes out in the exhaust? Scientists have linked a large portion of the smog in major cities to 2 stroke engines...

::off soap box::

carry on

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[Clayman]

btw... if you are going to get any parts of the internet, get it off this site, its the best http://davesmotors.com , i have a TGN Filter on the way :thumb:, and gonna get a g230rc engine for my birthday!

[Xpeder]

yeah they have relay strict laws in California about that 2 strokes i dont think i could even ride mine. they have very small cylinders and you have to mix both oil and gas in the tank so there for you get bad exhaust.

[reverendflash]

plus, they are extremely noisy. They get together here once a month at least, about 250 of them, and meet in GoldenGate Park, then for a ride through the City...

it's deafening. and smelly...

it's fun to wait for the straglers who's engines didn't start, or had a minor breakdown, and send them on a totally different route than the rest of the scooter boyz...

:evil:

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[Clayman]

lol...
yeah... it is loud... expecially if you the the muffler off.

[reverendflash]

yeah, so are Harley's tho...

and they're not gonna get any quieter...

When you have to mix the oil and gas it is a 2-stroke...


2-strokes own jur m0m. I would rather ride a 2-stroke dirt bike anyday than a stupid thumper (4-stroke)

Pretty much, I won't be around. Plus, I live in Central Valley California, where there is no hope in hell that our air quality will improve anyways. We are number 2 in the nation for poor air quality, right behind out neighbors Fresno....

[RelandR]

:chinaman: oh Naive weedHopper ...
do you not know that a raging river is but many drops of rain ?

I would give my left [insert favored body part here] to NOT have to live in Bakersfield nor return to L.A. ... both cesspools as far as air quality ... this is true

However - it will only get worse with each attitude as yours and has the potential to get better by the same degree for each attitude the likes of Rev's

...every little bit counts :rambo:

[reverendflash]

it's this attitude that keeps me out of Boogerville...

LA can be just as bad...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[DigitalPimp]

The problem will not get any better where I am at. I get to thank San Francisco's air pollution for our air sucking. Everything gets blown from up north and into our valley and pushed against the mountains, right in our city......... yumm

[coreyem]

Yeah, those trollies are real smog factories. Plus, all the smokers!

excuse me, but BS!

the air quality in the Bay Area is by far the best of any Metro City in America!

if you get any smog from anywhere, it will be from the I-5 corridor... look at Fresno, Orange County, etc.

everything here gets blown out to sea, what there is.

and the only way it will get better, is if youngsters like you start taking it seriously, and not adding to the problem!

Geez I hate that "Woe is me, everyone is out to get us" attitude.

digipimp, you should break out a map sometime and see where SF is in relation to Boogerville...

There is no way you are getting anything from us...


Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[mdipi]

i agree that the exaust is a bit much for such a little scooter, hehe and my new one is boss compared to my goped :P but with a bigger engen comes more polution, but i live in a hick town (no offense) so our air polution is tight, and there are like 4 scooters in town (well maybe a bit more, but i am saying that there arent a lot at all) and most of the db's are 4 strokes, and then there are cars, and a ton of cows.


pics!

pics of my blade and there is a movie that i did too! w00t

Everybody knows SF has great air quality, except for digital Pimp, apparently.

[Niann]

Well, I am glad you didn't get robbed. :)

Plus now I know what those things that keep waking me up at night are called. I never realized there was such a big market for performance parts for these things. Although if you think modding a go-ped takes a lot of cash, wait till you own a car. ;)
