I'm supposed to wake up in 3-1/2 hours to head to the Gambler 500-Illinois, but I'm too excited to sleep. AMA.

As some of you know, I bought a janky ‘87 Honda Helix to run in this year’s Gambler. That’s officially going to have to be a winter project, because something is really not working on that. So, I’m going to do the only reasonable thing a 350 pound man can do ... Send a 125cc scooter 500 miles this weekend. I installed a bag hook, a cup holder, and fabbed up a highway bar out of a scrap of 3/4" EMT. Good to go, right?!?

I am not a smart man.

So you’re sending a Zuma? You’ll be fiiiiiine. Just don’t send too hard. The zu me tends to be a little “bunpstop active” off road :p

Yeah, I honestly feel a twinge of guilt for “gambling” the Zuma, because mechanically this is no gamble. It will make it, no problem. I just need to keep it ‘twee n the ditches, shiny side up.
