Pocket Bikes - Who's Got One?

[D1_Sil80]

Hey,

Just bought myself a Pocket Bike yesterday. The guy installed a racing engine the day before. Those things go like hell... I had no idea..

Good way to have fun except coming back to my mates last night at 10pm I tried to bust a wheelie at about 70 km/h wearing nothing but a shirt, my brand spanking new jeans and my steel caps... and I crashed..

It was actually the best stack I've ever had.. It just ****in hurt..

Anyway as I did the wheelie it jumped forward and I tried to run for the bike as it was wheelie'ing itself and I could see what was gonna happen and I fell over, my fingers stabbing into the ground then my hands slid along the ground, and then my body proceeded to. The Repsol Honda coloured casing around the engine snapped and is loose as ****, and some petrol dripped out of somewhere..

People may say "you shouldn't of been so stupid, it's your own fault".. Well yes, but anyone who had it for the first night I can guarantee they would of thrashed the hell out it..

Anyway thanks for the vent/rant.. Oh and if anyone knows where I could take it for repairs...

thats why i sold mine. I fell off mine, with jeans on, hit the ground and tore through my ligament in my knee almost down to the bone. I was a total fuc wit, had afl draft camp 10 weeks later, thought i would be all good, but I got an infection in the knee which fuced me around. I was ok on the day, but not being able to train for 8 weeks made a big difference to my beep test time. Never getting on one again!!

hahahahah thats funny cos the first thing i said when i jumped on is if i come of this and eat **** my knees will be shot hahahaha

me and my mate brought one each, and rode them for about 2 weeks non stop till his died and mine took about 1 hour to start once cold, we raced them around this car park at flat knakka after getting used to them(5 mins after arriving), u wouldnt belive how well they grip around corners, i wore out a good pair of etnie scuffs from leaning into corners..

haha yeh i stacked it trying to do a wheelie..and my mate came and had a ride and stacked it flat stick going straight, got some nasty speed wobbles and rolled about 10 times

the good ones are the water cooled pocket bikes, do 100kmph easy

into go karts now so if anyone wants a cheap pocket bike for $150..pm me

hahaha pockets are good fun tho yeah rats dnt seem to like them much nowadays...everyone sellin them seemed to say they did 70kmh, tho infact they did 50kmh with a 6 tooth std front sprocket and others that come with 7 tooth front sprockets do 60kmh but with gay takeoff and some that would struggle to go across an oval...(especially 47cc ones)

had mine for atleast 8 months and sold it last week due to buyin a pitboss...rode my pocket bike everywhere....from my old place in marangaroo to subiaco for work when i was carless, from marangaroo to malaga many a times, to morley/beechboro/caversham several times also & without comin off it once...

miss my old one already so probly get another one but in the 110cc 4spd version (in 49cc frame!) if anythin, unless i found a real cheap 49cc one...

[D1_Sil80]

lol Marangaroo... I had my stack in Windarra Hts Marangaroo and I bought it in Marangaroo.. And got picked up by ranger twice and cops 1 in Marangaroo **** ya...

Yesterday the engine was fully run in.. It hits about 100kph now, but its ****ed. The back bit behind the seat, to hold you on... It's completely snapped off.. The footpedals fall off and are loose and bent... Me - 1, Pocket Bike - 0

110cc 4 speed?!?! **** yeh where do you get them from?

[Drift_R32]

yeh they are the cheapest made pieces of s***...mine had a abit of frame going under the seat so it was fine but my mate had to fibreglass his back together..
