    Correct, my mistake.
    Enjoy them while you can, there are murmurings of closing loopholes and making ownership a bit more difficult.
    I see that even drug lords are using them now.

    Thanks for that. Will make a good replacement engine for the C50. The worlds greatest motorcycle you know. It rego'd as a m/c, but on hold and gathering cobwebs in the garden shed. Are those engines 12v or 6?

    Lol, he was dressed just how I would imagine, and the german helmet to top off his rebellion was the finishing touch...he got away this time!

    I suppose these 'toys' have a right to be ridden, but not on public roads or footpaths, they are too low and don't have safe vision ahead when behind other larger motor vehicles...the law is an ass.

    Aha, but they are both "mini" bikes and the general populous probably doesn't differentiate between the two types....sooooo, it could well have been Jimmy! Maybe he caught an early flight down there?

    Easy fix Mark - delete the minibike from your KB profile and none of us will know you own one!

    I'll second that.

    The guys who ride these things will probably ultimately get heat focussed on us, but there are already too many people who get agitated as soon as someone starts having fun.

    It's not as if you could trust the politicians to make a law that differentiated between mini bikes and normal bikes.

    We have more than enough laws now thanks.

    Get a 'police special'minimoto bike and stick it in the boot, whenever you see another one you can just jump out and get on that, they wont get away from you then! lol
