It might be cool, but it certainly ain't allowed to race as a bucket!

[Ivan]

Ah well he looks young,

I wouldnt overly worry if he was out there just to do some laps on it...
He might be heading over for the MetraKit series in the states...

Wait I gotta go back and looksy at it again It looks like a Metra Kit chassis with a four stroke in it Metrakits are 2 stroke...

But like I said I gotta go back and look

[Ivan]

Yip shes a 2 smoker metrakit.


Its the 50 tho,

WOuldnt be the end of the world your guys FXR's would blow thisout the weeds,

So what class is that yellow Metrakit racing in?

Normally he rides with us in in the 50cc (F5) class. He rode with the scooters in there 50 lap memorial trophy, rather than in the big 2hr.
I think he's only just turned 13.

His riding has improved heaps and the more he gets use to the bike and track the faster he's going.

I think he looks rather impressive with his bike and gear.

[Ivan]

Yip good on him he does look good....


GO for it guys

[Ivan]

[bungbung]

Lol the stroy came off my head

Is that engine zip tied onto the frame?

[xwhatsit]

Is that engine zip tied onto the frame?

*Chuckle* that's what I was thinking... you'd better hope that engine is as piss-weak powerless as it looks, otherwise it'll pull itself off as soon as you drop the clutch

[F5 Dave]

Sheet! the amount of bikes that pass through your hands, some of them actually being raced by other people & that is what you come up with?

Feck that is Fugly. + the engine looks like it is further back than the rider, well maybe.

The Metrakit is ridden by Dave Dip's son. A mere kid but is already faster than dad in the dirt & no one has won more F5 or F4 champs (or 2 hours) in Auckland club champs than Dave. Be afraid!

Obviously the bike would have to be legalised when he races it properly. Hmmm, The engine thinking about it is sourced from a Derbi streetbike like the Aprilia RS50 (Scooter centre had one a while back) so is actually legal if it hasn't got any special hot up parts in it.
