Bought a toy
 

I just ordered a pocket bike to have some fun witha local club... these things are LOADS of fun. Somewhere around 40-50mph top speeds. Might look goofy but theyre fun and amusing yet its a good method of friendly competition for little money. Plus when u fall off its just amusing and everyone laughs til they cant breathe :p

heres a bunch of videos including one of a guy falling over the handlebars :rolleyes:

My partner Dan, That runs my shop when I have to work my job for 'The MAN' bought one of those for his 2 year old grandson... He put training wheels on it, and adjusted the throttle to where it will only go about 5 MPH!! It is a blast to watch the kids play!!

Kids are Great links to the future!! You gotta encourage them, so they will be just a crazy as you were!! With the difference of the wealth that your parents did not posess, keep it cool!!!!!..

CAUTION!!!! A friend gave his son a 450 cc Yamaha 4 wheeler for Christmas, The funeral is tomorrow at 1:30 pm....Give them a Subaru, and you can watch them grow up.....17 is much too young to DIE!!......

Oh I have scars from my old 4 wheeler... I know how dangerous they can be. :D

I cant wait to have kids... cant wait to get them into racing like my dad did with karts... Racing is a good thing to do with your kids. teaches confidence, skill, teamwork, sportsmanship, and keeps them occupied and away from things such as drugs and other mischief.

I buggered myself a little on a 4-wheeler but it helps that I was doing 40ish sideways on a gravel road.....:eek: :cool: :D :D It was fun and yes I have already gotten back on, although I have slowed some....

mmm i havent slowed down much but i do more low range fun than high speed stuff now. Just something about coming home totally covered in mud that I love :D

My wood dwelling granpa actually had a couple all terrain trikes that we rode this one summer like back in... eighty... five or six. Somewhere's in Michigan.
Long time ago.
Dangerous things, those atvs.

So wazzat pocket bike do in the quarter?

I was born january 5th of 86 lol :rolleyes:

quarter? mile? lol hahahahahahaha would probably run out of gas by then lol:rolleyes:

Hm needs upgrades.

Another friend bought one of those MB5 honda that has all the handeling charicteristics of a moped, w a 6 speed.. Well, he wrecked it , and while he was in traction, his brother and I cut it up, and put the drive line on a RUPP mini-bike w 12 " knobby tires!! That thin was a blast!! it only went 28 mph on the flat out, but it would haul 500 # and acted like a tractor!

A teen recently died around here from a Pocket Bike accident. The things are weighted decently for little kids, but get a teen or adult on them and they become to top heavy and pretty unwieldly. Have to ride it just right or your gonna get hurt bad. Guess that's why motorcycle racing teams, both dirt and track, ban racers from ever using them :D

Maybe he will consider protective gear in the next life.

Well i own a full size katana... i just like these little bikes and its just a hobby. To have fun with and there is a club here that rents an oval on Sundays.

Stock theyre 4.4hp and there is a pretty good aftermarket for them. jet kits, bore kits, etc... they can be pretty quick

yeah they arent for street use... God i can only imagine... but they are an adrenaline rush cruising at 50mph.. its like a bad joke but so much fun. And yes I use my bike gear from my katana to play on it.
