Imagine having one on the road... that'd stop the traffic.

Yawn

Standing there, playing with your stick, watching them go round and round?

Not for me - I'd rather go ride

When you put it that way... me too. They still look cool though. And you still get to race hard for a low cost and no injury. I see it as better than the X-Box. You also get to play with bike setup etc.

Almost at 400...

and a few websites, the Venom looks pretty impressive with the fairing off.

That's awesome! I want one!

Splitting could be interesting... you'd have more of a risk being crushed by a cars wheel than hitting their wing mirror...

Yeah, go on. I'd support an argument that says we should all get the same type, too....

[Mystic13]

Time to move to Wellington. Maybe. I'm only here because Auckland is such a wonderful place to live.

[Boob Johnson]

Even has a "wheelie" button :2thumbsup

Bit of a hub for many of the clubs/tracks in NZ, You should ask there, I know there are a few people with RC bikes.

Well, I'm convinced. There is a good RC Car track in Albany, next to the stadium. I'm going to buy one on Monday, looks like a good laugh.

I'm going to buy in Suzuki Blue. So, that colours taken, and you can all fuck off as you get the learn from my Venom GSXR... :)

Let me know how you go with that. I might join you. At the moment I have too many hobbies and not enough time but that just means I need to plan better.

I assume you're buying the Venom off the local guy?

Cheers.

It looks like IL4 has sprouted an interest in these (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=98517), too.
