View Full Version : A day with the Trashes

Spent yesterday with the kids, it really makes you appreciate life when you get to see them growing up and progressing. They spent the morning in the pool at MrMe's place whith his rug rats as we sunk a few Steinys and worked on the various bikes lying around the place.

MrMe's boy Tristan has just started getting the hang of his MiniMoto he got for Christmas and my girls have been too scared to ride the quad since Eden rolled it the first day she had it two years ago.

My "screamer" motor is finally run in so I chucked the race clutch in it, and leaned it off two sizes on the main jet.

So late in the afternoon it was time to head off to an undisclosed private race track for some much needed kiddie bike therapy.

Unload the two minis and the quad and fired them all up.

Tristan (only 6) is a demon on the minimoto now, a real natural with a hell of a race face. He's got to get past his sister on the quad at whatever cost, including highsiding with the rear locked up heading into the hairpin.

Cranked the "screamer" up for a shakedown run, only did a few laps before I realised it's just too bloody fast without gear on. The thing HAULS! Taught the girls a few stunts on the quad. Eden loves 2 up wheelies while Lily (3) prefers we ride 'round on two wheels rather than 4. Mr Me taught Tristan how to wheelie the mini in an unorthodox fashion and seeing a 6 year old at 12 on a minimoto is hilarious.

Couple of pics, I'll post more when they come to hand.

I can't help but think your daughter should be wearing a helmet though - even just a bicycle helmet.

Picture "two" reminds me of a few years back, Won a LT50 at the local Mitre 10 store.
We don't have kids so thought we'd give the neighbours kids a go. The young 8 y/o lady hopes on, gives it everything and goes flying around the corner on two wheels (no rear diff eh) , looses control and flys down the neighbours driveway. The quad pulls up within half a meter of the neighbours brand new car :dodge: . Decided to goven it with a number of a screw driver. Gave the rest of the kids a go as. Had kids knocking on the front door most weekends. Gave them rides so long as there parents approved. We were the coolest neighbours rated by the kids for a while. They were sad when we moved it on.

Tell me about it...

As for you, Colapop, teenagers are far superior. I have less responsibility than all the adults, more free time, and enough education to argue with the majority successfully. :laugh:

Back on topic though, can you do a one wheeled wheelie on the quad WT?

Yup.

Soon as I fit an RM500 motor to it.
