drink on race day !

Might start a tend for other members to follow and then turn the shop run into a race :)

Shame theres no round abouts in edgecombe !

Be a good use for them useless treaded tyers.......

All good sly we not encouraging bad habbits just havin a laugh. best of luck with your idea tho would be a good cheap little run about, I think for the pit bike you could just get the gear off one of those postie honda CT step through bikes as in the head light, indicators and that stuff but being over 50cc you won't be able to register as a scooter.
Your local motorcycle dealer should be able to help you out. Cheers Mike:niceone:

Hi,

It is impossible and for very good reasons. " YOUR SAFETY "

#1 : For a bike of over 50cc and more power than 2Kw, the bike requires a low volume certification...... you can not get this because it requires safety tested documents from the factory that made your bike...... = /fail

#2 : I have tested many of these bikes on the race track and found most bikes purchased directly from the factory are not up to my standards of what a bike should be capable of doing if it can exceed 90km/h

Braking should be powerful, handling should be excellent, the bikes construction and quality should be on par with a Japanese road bike.

Currently there are some Mini Chopper type bikes in New Zealand that should never have been allowed onto New Zealand roads. Some how they managed to pass.. or more like bypass the safety road compliance. If you put a 250cc engine into a frame that originally was built for a 50cc, with brakes that were not even good enough to stop a 50cc..... I shudder to think what could happen.

Anyway, to cut a long boring wall short... please do not try to put on the road, a vehicle that should only be used in your back yard or on the race track.
