Race Tracks In Sacramento

Im new to the pocket bikes. My buddy just gave me his X1 Im enjoying myself... I just wanted to know if the have any tracks or are there any groups in my area that ride..

The closest track we're able to ride and race is in STOCKTON. I usually ride with my sons at a local school parking lot. We use to ride at PRAIRIE CITY but they have a new owner and he does not want motorcycles.....

I actually found a lot to ride at MATHER FIELD. I just got to get permission to ride there. If we can, I have some cones to set up a track to ride. I'll keep you posted, if you are interested in riding with us.

BTW, name is Mike. What's yours and where are from in Sac?
I live in ELK GROVE.

Whats Up Mik Im Dee and that sounds like aplan you got there about ridin at mather what time are you talkin.. i have a buddy who down also..

yea, unfortunately the closest track to ride at is stockton.

aye mike, let me know when your gonna ride at mather field.

what up Nate! where were you the last 2 races?
Yeah, I'll call you when I go ride next time. I can't ride today because Andrew has 2 basketball tournament games today in Folsom. I'll give you a call later.

Mike

i went to the 2nd to the last race, but not the last. i was busy and couldn't make it to the last race.

yea, just hit me up when you go riding.

I just got a new x-18 nitro and live in the fruitridge area. this is my 3rd bike and was wondering were people go besides stockton to ride. i found that the warehouses off belvedere and florin perkins are a good place on weekends cause you can't be seen from the main roads and the businesses are usually closed but still without permission is a gamble.

Yes, it is a gamble but the way I see it, as long as you have the proper protection gear the cops ( if they come by) will just move on....especially, if you are by yourself. Once in Elk Grove, I rode at a local school parking lot with my kids and EG police came by and did not say anything to me. I figured he saw my kids in protective gear, it was cool.

FYI, Younger Creek Drive has more room for riding. I rode there a few times. Check it out.

Well, since there is no seller feedback forum I will post this here as a warning for others.
I purchased a bike from Sonny Viray(donkeykong). Couldn't wait to get it. It arrives in ok condition. Then I start taking it apart for inspection and find many undisclosed problems.

Rear wheel barely spins due to chain being way too short/tight.
Rear brake caliper rubbing on rotor.
Frame is cracked at rear body/exhaust support.
Steering damper is semi-functional due to low fluid and seeping.

So I get the chain fixed and the rear spaced correctly and flip the rear wheel around on the hub so they are both turning same direction.

I'm working now on getting the frame welded up correctly so I try to start the engine. Won't start. I disassemble the carb because there is an oily residue in the tank and the fuel lines are oily. Found the carb completely full of oil. Cleaned it all up and checked the reeds. Put back together and put fresh fuel in and still couldn't get it started. I pulled so many times the pull rope broke. Pulled that apart and repaired. Lubed it because it was squawking on the return. Still can't get it to start. Finally get fed up and do a compression check. Found 30 psi. (How can that be with a good engine with a few races on it.) I take the cylinder off and inspect it and there it is. The piston ring is wedged in the groove and the cylinder is scored bad from a trasfer port to the top. Found a chunk of small end bearing cage (not any rollers) broke away and went up the side. This is scored too deep to hone and it is a Nikasiled cylinder.
That has cost an additional $400 to order a new cylinder kit from midsouth.

I have been very disappointed with this bikes condition because I was not made aware of any of these faults during the purchase. This is very bad business and a poor way to treat a fellow pocketbiker. I feel like I bought a $1500 piece of crap. Now that my venting is done. I hope people read this as a buyer beware. Careful what you purchase from Sonny Viray (Donkeykong).

I'm going to restore the R1 to pristine condition and want everyone to know that if and when I sell something on here I will fully disclose everything so you guys will not have to go through this and you'll know what you are getting.

I live in Davis , use to have a OG Pocket Bike but my friend crashed it. So im picking up a X7 4stroke but where am i going to ride it.

I also ride around that area, its pretty fun! let me know when all you guys are down to meet up.

Guys im dying to ride, ive spent the last three weeks completely tearing apart my bike and rebuilding everything, shes still in pieces with paint drying but will be done by saturday as she is to be on display. where and when can we meet up after saturday june 27th?

Hey I saw a X-18 going down Laguna in Elk Grove with a Ca Licensee plate. Does that mean that there legal on the highway now?

I tend to doubt it. those X18s come with fake plates sometimes, or possibly the plate was taken off of something else. This is....after all
Ca... where even stupid people such as ourselves are protected from themselves by outlawing everything fun.
