:D :D :D
Nice. Look through the turn man, look through the turn. With where your head is pointed you'll be driving into the ground. :D :D :D :D

I was using the "force" to guide me.

Squid alert! :roll:

is that a mini bike instead of a pocket bike?

I'd class it as a pocket bike.

A mini bike isn't much bigger, but really a bike designed specifically for kids like the PW50/XR50 kind of thing, IMO.

its just a larger pocket bike, with working headlight, turn signals and taillight

I was just watching a peice on these things on Discovery chanel. I sure wouldnt mind having one if they cost no more the 600$.

i got mine for 370
smaller than corpse_grinder0's bike.. no light and stuff

pretty fast.. 50km+ for sure

Were did you get it? Localy? If so were do I go????

Im seriously considering it for this price, I can only imagine the fun times you can have with these! :lol:

Be aware that without decent knee and elbow protection I have seen a couple guys locally jump on a pocket bike in the parking lot at the bike store... and wipeout and be laughing and crying at the saame time :)

It turns out that the human knees and elbows are not designed to be shaved by asphalt - even at 10mph ehehehe :)

But they are wicked fun. Especially if you can get a couple buddies, some traffic cones and a race going .

Thats exactly what I had in mind. There is a massive massive massive parking lot here in the neighbourhood and its always empty after 7pm, I can just imagine the things we can do.


BTW How strong are these things? Can they take abuse?

Well - as with anything, you get waht you pay for. There are some really cheap pocket bikes showing up, and my buddy got one for his kid - and him and I trashed it in about 30 minutes :oops:

The forks literally folded in half at the bottom triple clamp after one too many hits on going down the driveway curb.

But we didn't really pay attention to try not to hurt it.

Do yourself a favour and go visit a couple dealers/flea markets and get an idea of the quality and types out there.

They even have them at pepboys now.

Thanks for the advice. I'm on a mission now. :D

corpse - whats the low down on your pocket bike????

Brand, price and how tough?

Thats Fken cool!!!!!!
Need a Turbo though :p

honestly I dont remember the brand name, ill have to look on it... as far as price, I bought it for 100 bucks from a co-worker who said it didnt run right. I drained the tank, tightened a few screws here and there, mixed premium gas with premium oil, and suddenly it turned into a rocket. As for quality, I crashed it once jumping it up the side of a driveway at about 30mph, caught about 6ft of air, landed on the sideway, breaking loose the left clip on.. and eating shit in the grass of my house...haha, great fun. In the crash I also lost two engine bolts, and everthing got loose. I just had to tighten everything down, find two more bolts... and the left clipon bolts are now stripped so im just gonna tig weld them together.

It's a two stroke then?

These things are just begging for a transplanted RM/KX85 motor :twisted:

120km/h at the very least, looking at the size of your rear sprocket.

Sorry, it's the RG500 in me that makes me say this mad shit :mrgreen:

the bike i got was 2 stroke

SFDMALEX---
i got mine from ebay.. but that person is in toronto.. they are actually a store in downtown toronto

i think they sell it for like 420 in the store.. but i got it for 370


i got rid of it 2 days after though... no real place for me to ride.. and i got sick of it fast... not fast enough for me

SFDMALEX pm me if u want to know where the store is

yeah mine is two stroke, I believe they all are. And yes, I plan on doing an engine + suspension swap.

nice Cateye, nice knee dragging, but your foot peg is already hitting the ground

Can you guys believe they are now banned in australia? Well in victoria anyhow, don't know about the other states so yeah, don't quote me on that one :oops: hihihi funny though.. initially the law was somewhat along the lines of you are able to legally ride a fuel powered machine upto 49cc which cannot exceed a speed limit greater than 50kmph... don't know why but now the 05's don't let us run a mukk no more... i had to get rid of mine.... before i got caught, if you get caught its a $1000AU fine :fist: cops...... c c c
