There is nothing like a Monday-morning commute to stir the 50 cc scooter rider's lust for power, and there is no replacement for displacement.

To that end, allow me to introduce Scooterworks' GY6 engine package - a complete, 149 cc single-cylinder engine and transmission assembly that, with a little bit of work, can be stuffed into a number of diminutive 50 cc bikes to deliver more than double the standard horsepower and torque, producing a VERY quick machine.

That 80-year old retiree who can barely see over the dash of his 4000-lb powder-blue Buick may see you, or he may think he's standing in line at the bank. With a 150 cc GY6 engine under your scooters' seat, it won't matter: you're already long gone!

Upgrade your ride's braking performance to "keep up" with all that new-found power and speed by picking up some high-performance brake upgrades from Scooterworks, which (along with your GY6 engine) will be eligible for huge discounts this month, thanks to Scooterworks' "Buy More, Save More" promotion through the month of May!

Twist and Gone was born when a group of dedicated mental scooterists decided to get together and race their scooters to the edge of speed and sanity. That was 2010, and this year Twist and Gone is back and better than ever, with entries from across the country and around the world and two new race classes for vintage scooters and mopeds ... and it's happening THIS WEEKEND!

After the races, the Twist and Goners participants will head over to the Bill Monroe Campgrounds for what the group's website describes as "live music, camping, scooter shenanigans, and who knows what else".

Sound good to me! Will any of you readers be there, pushing your exhausts, cylinder kit, and sport tires to the limit? Need any last minute carb jets to dial in your scoot at the event?
