how much is it to run them on the track? Who's going to this? I'd be quite keen to give it a shot, but 7 is gonna be cutting it fine.. Got any more details?

Also, while this is a good oppotunity, where else can these things be run? At the moment, we're just trying to find big out-of-the-way carparks, which we know ain't right, but what else is there?

There's a whole bunch of cool paths up behind Don McKinnon drive in Albany

I'd like to be there myself but it's the missus and my best mates birthday party.

Ah well, next year.

I remember you saying that White Trash, sorry you can't make it, maybe next time,
what about the rest of these guys?
we make a big deal about it, especially for the kids

My thing is we try and organise these events to keep MiniMotos out of car parks and off the streets, other wise we end up with a reputation like mini choppers

If you must ride in a car park, approach the stores manager get all there details and get permission to use the place ... if they aggree.

If you splatter yourself all over the pavement on there property they are responsible, an acc claim soon leaves a paper trail to a knock on your door

Example: in Hamilton we have the Bunnings car park, nice and big, very good surface .... perfect!
on friday nites several bikes used the property, then the police were asked to remove these people (I do this myself from time to time), bikes were taken away in the back of police cars, now speed humps are all over the car park and that's it. f*ckt for everyone
the local police are pritty good, they normally go .... oooh aah

, just don't push it

oh yea, getting your knee down, yip it's cool, then it becomes too easy and you try and keep it off the ground and use it as an a guide

to pro european kids can get elbows on the ground, I shit you not

have you guys been there?, its big and uninhabited in the evenings, also there is a track at mt wellington (not hannigan drive), not too sure if its still there was about 8 months ago - on the back of mt richmond, it used to be a rc car track, but they moved to saleyards road.
