pittsburgh ped

i recently scooped this '96 Tomos Targa LX for use while i'm in pittsburgh (dont mind the letter stickers and rear toolbox, they need to come off quick!)



i got a good deal considering it already has a kit, low bars, ebr fork, pipe, air filter, and round headlight. it can currently do about 50mph, but should be able to do 55+ with a tuned carb and better exhaust. it does need some work though. as you can tell by the picture, it is currently not potty trained and possbily needs a transmission rebuild along with new main bearings. i plan on bringing back to chi in the winter and giving it a nice tuneup and doing some additional nice things to it.

check out the side kickstand and gangsta lean:



oh yeah, just another thing. i cruised it tonight and the chain fell off on me:



planning on bringing some gloves/tools and fixing it next week.

of course, shouts to the westin for letting me keep it in their covered garage free of charge. i knew this platinum status would come in handy.
