I've dabbled with AMA superbikes in my younger years, owned several Gixxer's, etc. Basically been riding off/on since I was about 8 years old.
I'm 40 now, business owner, and don't have the ability to really ride the big stuff on tracks anymore. (Sturgis SD is a vacuum for AMA road bikes)
This is what brought me here. Two weeks ago an employee asked me to help him with a 1978 Honda moped. We got it running, then came the tune pipe, the big bore kit, race carb, etc...
It was finalized Saturday with spiking the gas with a bit of methanol/nitromethane from one of my race planes.
In the end we took a 20mph moped and made it into a 50mph death trap.
It also sunk its teeth into me, so now I want a pocketbike as I'm hell bent on starting a league here.
Sturgis is known for bikes. I think with the right people involved I could start a city based club and possibly get some racing hosted.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks for having me and I hope this works. I've got the bug for it again.
Chad.
PS; That being said, I need to buy one to set the stage. If I just want the best piece out there, One that I don't have to spend a month ****ering around with buying pipes, carbs, heads, clutches, etc,
What's it going to be?
I've seen the Blata B1 Origamis. They look pretty impressive on the You Tube.
What else is there?
Thanks in advance.
