Is that the crash one? I was video'ing that, clutch springs broke and put an end to my evenings fun :(

Not many places you can ride them. Luckily this was an un-opened carpark (Asda in Gravesend). Closes at 4pm on a sunday, so we used to setup a track. USed to get a few others turn up, they didn't like th fact the track was full of corners :lol:

Pah, what fun is i to go just in a straight line at 30mph....

I'm going minimoto-ing on Saturday for my brother's birthday. Might see if I can get some vids taken.

I've been toying with the idea of buying my own bike and entering in a bit of regular competition cos I enjoyed it that much.

Theres so many you can buy now.

Go for a Blata/Polini/GRC and pay over £500. But those bikes will last, not really break, won't ahve to keep changing clutch springs etc..

Mines one of those chinky imports. Very poorly made, but just as quick as the Blatas (we tested them :D If you just want to blat around for a laugh, go for a chinky one.

If you want to get into it properly, go for a proper named one.

Water cooled and air cooled, you can get nitrous on them, rev counters (up to about 13,000rpm), twin disc brake setups etc.. Mad.

Go on ebay and type mini moto, there will be about 50 pages lol. I got mine before the massive trend started and only paid £190. Friends paid £260.

I've been through loads of clutch springgs (£5 for 3, wooooo), 1 exhaust (£25) where the bracket snapped, and errr, petrol n oil. My grand total still is only about £250 and they have been used for hours and hours and hours..

Do you know I really like the idea of unofficial mini-moto; turn up at specified car park dead on time, put a few cones out, ten minutes racing, and then all disappear into the sunset - cool!

Those things scare me silly - I don't know why. :oops:

I'd be less nervous taking some custom thing from OCC out for its first ride than getting on one of these dinky toys.

They fascinate me, I think they're great, look fantastic fun n all that. But like Mr T in a plane, I think you'd have to do some serious hypnosis or something to get me on one.

I ride a FireBlade for heaven's sake - and I'm scared of a minimoto. I really ought to just crawl away and live under a rock now. :oops: :roll:

Theres an upstairs too.

Thing is, its a long ramp, you get to the top and full throttle and take off :lol: Spin around the top deck, come down the other side of the downstairs carpark.

Done that many a time, just didn't on vido. I preferred the downstairs only track.

10 minutes???? :wink: Nahhh, we turned up at 4.30pm, and would be there till like 9-10pm at night.

Happy days :D 8) :lol:

Ay yes, but what I was hinting at was that 10-15 mins wouldn't be long enough for someone to complain and the Old Bill to arrive - arrive, race, go! :)

Yeah I know somone selling a Blata Elite 4.2. With a few mods/extras. £350. That is a good price. If I didn't already have two minimotos myself I'd be tempted!! :D

His exact words:- I dont want to but i really, really have to sell my minimoto. Blata Elite (current rrp about £600) with upgraded clutch, spare 14mm carb, engine
gasket set + spare jet and pet 200dx rev counter. £350 secures the lot, this
is a very quick little bike and must be sold.
