    Can anyone offer advise on the best bike types to get, what to look out for and what not to get ?

    where are you going to race ???

    come to the next race up this way (Mt Wellington) and someone one will lend you a bike to putter around on after the racing. just ask john about it when you are up this way


    and FXR's are the way to go (if it all turns sour they are easy to sell and you dont lose much if anything)

    Haha! Funny shit! I didn't get the PD bit of course so I was thinking you must have an odd sense of humour for a while!

    That is also interesting about how Crasherfromwayback mentions their $1 reserves sell for market value.

    do why ? do you want to buy some land

    i started by looking at who was riding what and where they where coming ( cb125twins with tzr frount forks and wheels)
    they I got a cb twin for $50 never did anything with it and sold it for $180
    after that it was another cb125 twin someone had started work on $400 and tzr frount forks and wheels $150. sold all that for $600 after puttering aroundf the track (2 laps is all it made )

    both those 2 bikes are still running and go hard. but someone did a lot of hard work to them

    I also got a gp125 and spent 4 years and lots of money on it ( still have that engine the rest is having a cb100 fitted for the son to ride)



    this is lots of fun and you will need to get another bike for yourself not just the boys to ride

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-407400486.htm (getting old and long now fxr is better)

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-410501724.htm (talk him into selling the lot and put a lonchin in it)

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-409322139.htm (this is a start but will cost $$$ finding the rest of it)

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-410382231.htm (realy good start but you may need the frame from above)


    GOOD LUCK

    The Xbox probably won't get much use once you get the bucket.
