    does anyone know

    any contact details for the people bringing in the things known as Pocket Rocket bikes - made in China - powered by a lawn mower engine or similar.
    I know some one who has brought one brand new at an auction and it has crapped out - he is looking for whoever brought them in for parts etc.

    I reckon he wasted his dough - why were these being sold new in boxes at auction.?
    If you say either "I can" or "I can't" your correct.

    Econobikes in Upper Hutt sell a heap of these.

    You might want to try them.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I heard that the first thing to do is to strip and rebuild them apparently the gear is good its just that they are put together by Monkeys and nothing is done up let alone torqued up! the brits had the same problem at Norton Villiar triumph in 1977 trust me I know!
    Your never to old for a sportsbike

    Give our mutual freind mr G a call lee. You know one importer of these bikes.
    Aparently there is a huge difference in quality depending on what factory and what day of the week it is.
