Kids quad bike pickup.

[FROSTY]

I just bought another 50cc quad bike for the kids dirt day.
Trouble is its in Bluegum rd Paraparaumu Beach.-just outa wellytown.

Would anybody be able to pick it up for me. Basicly get it away from where it is now ?. --If ya have kids its all cool for them to ride the beastie untill I can organise transport up here

It would be muchly apreciated

[FROSTY]

[Mully]

Frosty, man up and fly down and ride it home. Jeez, call yourself a Mentor.


You have got a week (nearly) before you have to be anywhere important.

PM Sels1, he lives nearby and is a good bugger.

Mental image of me on 50cc quad desighned to carry 20kg kids --hmmm
Im game just not THAT game.

If yer not asking for any one to asses it's worthiness or pay for it, just grab it and store it and it would fit in a Honda accord estate. I may be able to assist. Let me know mate.

Either way, good luck next week. :drinkup:

I can pick it up for you Frosty and store it for a bit at another location in Paraparaumu? Sorry I can't bring it up or store it here at home though (too many toys of our own!).

It would have to be today (this afternoon) though as i don't get up there often, and the other downside is that in order to pick it up, it will have to be a weekend and with a weeks notice. :sunny:

BUT other than those little hiccups - I am good to go :Punk: Let me know.

Doh!! Sorry Frosty - I left before you responded. i have spoken to the 'man with a van' and we might go up Tuesday after work - will text you once I know for sure and see if you still need a hand to pick it up.

[FROSTY]

Thanks folks looks like its all sorted.
Trumpy has offered to pick it up from wellytown and one of the great welly crew picking up from par-whatever .

THANK YOU

[riffer]

Hmm.

Just wondering guys - Frosty's told me to grab this quad from Upper Hutt, where it is apparently now.

Who's got it? :(

[FROSTY]

try I'm motarded

[Squiggles]

The potential is there for us to bring it up: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=82422

Done. Cheers mate. I'll let you know how I get on.

[Squiggles]

Right, wheres this thing currently located? As it stands Clivoris is coming up from Porirua to palmy, and could bring it up, we're meeting him there and coming back up to Auckland... The transport thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=82422)

[trumpy]

I can still pick this up but won't be in Wellytown now until after the school holidays. If you guys can pick it up before then, please do. Any probs let me know and I will still do it in a couple of weeks or so.

[FROSTY]

Currently thew quad is in the hands of me ol mate Riffer. Thanks guys but methinks if I pick it up BEFORE end of holidays a couple of kids will kill me--

[Squiggles]

school hol's are over next weekend, so the option is there :headbang:

[riffer]

Grrr. Bloody thing needs a bit of work before it'll even start and go properly.

Need to strip the carb and I have about a million hours work to do this weekend AND it'll be shite weather this weekend too.

Kids NOT happy.

Tony - I took the seat off to check the oil level. Turns out it's had the oil tank removed and the inlet pipe from the oil coiled up and tied up at the motor.

If you throw petrol and oil into the tank at a 30:1 mix is that still going to do the same thing? Or are we looking at a problem here?

I flushed the carb out but it's still not starting so I'll clean out the jets and replace the spark plug (it's filthy - bloody smokers).

[FROSTY]

MATE--wot kinda mechanic are ya?
Drain the tank, drain the carb,clean out the jets -all of em. Put a new plug in and wammo itll go.

Turns out the petrol was shite. D'oh. That's what I get for being a cheap bastard and trying to use the existing petrol.

Thanks for the advice on removing the second pilot jet - it runs quite well without it.

Tim experienced his first wheelie followed by his first highside. Jumped up straight away and shouted "That was fricken awesome!"

Unfortunately I was snapped shortly after showing him the right way to wheelie a quad.

Apparently that's not very responsible. :mellow:

[FROSTY]

ROTFLMAO--ohh er--mate thats why ya take em to a park

Yes well, Tim's lost skin on his shoulder, knee, elbow and hip.

Gini most philosophical about the whole thing. Gave him the arnica. Tim went to bed tonight insistent that it didn't hurt at all and that he was spending tomorrow mastering the quad.

We'll see how much he hurts tomorrow morning when all the bruises come up.

All part of life's rich learning experiences. :laugh: He'll be fine. He's loving it.

Of course I'm gonna have to buy one now. And his uncle didn't help tonight by offering him his pit bike for a couple of weeks too...
