What's happening, y'all? I know I've been MIA for a short while (since the TNT135). Like I said, I'll be around though. I have acquired what I believe is a new-old stock 49cc 2 stroke pocket bike from eBay. I was seriously only on there looking for a rear wheel (here comes the story).
So I was out at the school playground/parkinglot (my own little, personal neighborhood pocket bike track!) riding the 1st pocket bike I bought (junk 4 stroke from MPR). I was there for quite a while & decided it's time to call it a day, I was getting tired. Anyway, riding back home my leg started cramping up, as usual I just kind of straightened it out but this time it made it worse instead of helping. So my dumb@ss tried to slightly stand up on the footpegs (lol)...,...,...bad idea! The front started violently shaking & I couldn't set back down fast enough to let it straighten itself out. So of course this little bike comes out from under me. Wasn't that big of a deal really, but it is slightly embarrassing to crash a pocket bike going in a straight line (LOFL)! I went to ride it the next day & the tire is flat. I put air in but hear it coming back out somewhere, long story short, wheel cracked where the spoke meets the "tub".
I ran across a dude on eBay with like 8 or 10 49cc, 2 stroke bikes for like $250 & free shipping. I messaged him to make sure it was actually a 2 stroke bike & not just the picture of one. It showed up & its most definitely a brand new 2 stroke pocket bike. The plus side is I've got a new rear wheel to mount my PMT back up to (LOL).
I'll get some pictures tomorrow when I take it out to the garage & get the fairings off to check everything over. I've got to pick up a velocity stack & an air filter (already have a 15mm carb on the bench), I may be able to score one from a guy I know, I just have to call him & possibly go out and pick it up.
Anyway, if one of you dudes are wanting an extra 2 stroke pocket bike there's definitely some floating around on eBay. Just thought I'd say so.
I'll update with pictures soon
