Minimoto racing

[drummer]

Hi all... anyone here apart from me race pocket bikes...? If so... where? I race in the AMCC bucket meetings at Mt Wellington...

[FROSTY:Me]

Myself and Hayden have a bike each.

Mine's a fiddy, aircooled. Hayden has one of the new 40cc Liquid cooled rockets. 16000rpm, clutch doesn't even start to engage untill 8000!

The thing fucken flys but isn't quite as good as mine on the indoor tracks.

I'd like to down here in chch, but currently i'm a student (broke) and dont have access to a machine. Seems to be quite cheap as well.

Its top of my list of things to do when pay checks start again tho.

Anyone got any pic's of these in action? I've heard about them, but im ashamed to say that i've never seen them? . . . .

have a look at www.minimoto.co.nz there is heaps of stuff on them.... images, forums, movies.. At this years national champs in Hamilton there were 7 classes and over 100 bikes.

I took about 150 photos at the nationals in hamilton earlier this year, will upload a few when I find them.

I dont know if they still do but on Monday nights after 7pm they used to race them at the indoor kart track in Moorhouse ave

If you go see Chris at Street and Sport he'll be able to tell you if they are still doing it

I've done a couple of laps of the Blenheim Kart Track and consider them dangerous

best way to describe them is a two wheel Kart. They have different dynamics from full size bikes and are quite difficult to ride fast. Corner speed is way important to maintain momentum... we even have a one hour race in Akl... 2 riders with pitstops... my co-rider last time was a mate who races a FXR150 in buckets... he reckons it took 5 days to get over it... and more hairy than the buckets. Start off on a Chinese air cooled machine costing less than a grand... a set of tyres last the season... minimal costs. From there the skies the limit... my new bike is a chinese copy of a Blata 12hp.. has Italian slicks, race computer, steering dampener, water cooling 16000 rpm... should hit the 90kph mark which is fast when you are that close to the ground! I absolutely encourage you all to try it... perhaps we could organise a Minimoto day for kiwiriders in Akl at Mt Wellington kart track as part of the AMCC bucket practise day. I am sure we could get a few stock DII's along to let anyone interested have a blast!. Anyone keen?

heres 1 of the pics, It's painfully slow editing them on this laptop so will only upload the 1 for now. (really missing my PC)

.... even being as small as they are....they can be dangerous.

A friend of KB went to a Halloween party....

Alcohol + peers + minimoto = broken collar bone

Moral of story...don't dress up as a good luck gnome.
