That is true, I was purposely making myself 'wide' as you had more drive out of the turns .... but it is not like you could get away when I was behind ... although you could dart away out of the turns, on the overall lap I could get that deficit back and I was right up your chuff lap after lap!!

So is anyone game?!!?

Ok, I phoned up. Its open for minimoto from 5pm tomorrow (Sunday) until 9pm.

I'll be getting there just after 4 to get set up etc

For those wondering how much it is for hire bikes

?10 = 1 x 10 minutes
?18 = 2 x 10 minutes
?25 = 3 x 10 minutes
?32 = 4 x 10 minutes
?40 = 6 x 10 minutes

That I think is really good VFM ... it costs me the best part of ?40 in fuel and entry fees to run my own bike there for the evening!!

This is me losing it and my mate joining in!! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LHZx-_iGobA

So there you go ... who is game someone ... anyone?!!?

Can't do it tomorrow, but maybe you could advise me on something. I got given a minimoto from a chap who couldn't get it running and couldn't be bothered sorting it. I had it going within an hour after cleaning out various parts. Anyway, it's just a cheap thing you could probably get off ebay new at £60 or something, but it goes ok and is getting my 11 year old used to riding something with a motor in it. Would it be worth running at Hullavington or would it be far too slow?

Yep, that is absolutely fine, I started off on a 'cag'* too


*cag is a generic name for the sort of bike you got ... a bit like scooter covers all ... well scooters .. Cag is actually short for 'Cagliari' .. the factory/place where they are all made

cool, thanks for the reply, I'll have to give it a go sometime.

Looks great fun, I've had a brief go on one at a kart track in France and I'd love to have a proper go sometime. £40 for 6 x 10 min sessions sounds pretty reasonable to me. Shame it's so far away or I'd be there.

I've been meaning to give this a go for a while...

I'm not a confirmed but I maybe able to make it over for a quickie (as it were, so to speak). Would be good for someone who knows what their doing to show me the ropes?

I'll be getting there sometime after 4 if you are game.

My bike look like this:-



I'll be in am old boiler suit with an old Aria lid - red, silver, black and yella (IIRC).

Happy to show you the ropes, but apart from a bit of advice on where to put ya feet etc, its just get on there and have some fun
