Vince is a good guy, he's partly responsible for me getting into dirt... as well as feeding my excessive mini habit in the beginning. Mention me if you want to pay more on your next order!

Since I just tonight purchased an Xtreme 125cc pitbike from doc, I'm getting ready to play...hard. I am going to work with Doc and others to find a date so we can all go play on the Kart track in Barre this month. Can't wait!!!

I know it is a haul for you guys but you might want to check out Box Shop Track in Kezar Falls, Me. on Oct 10. We did have a couple of GP bikes show up last time from up there.

The 10th is an open track day. Free camping the night before. $60 for a full day, $40 for a half. They will run both the GP course and the Motard course through out the day.

This is video from a GP race, but you can also see the Motard course.

That's nice! But farther than NHMS!

Congrats and thanks to Sandy on the purchase.

[sandros]

Aright.

I need to line up some DOT/slick/street/motard tires...soon. I have just spent 20 minutes looking online to get them on their way here, with no luck. Found a couple of places, but nothing decent. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Let's start with the size of the rims...

Scooter tires from RSM! Are you gonna bring it on the 16th!!!???

[sandros]

i still need to get seperate rims and dirty tires, where are you getting yours

With the extras that came with the bike I just bought from Doc, there may be an extra set of dirty tires...not sure on rims. I'll keep you posted.

[sandros]

Let's start with the size of the rims...

Ummm, no idea...they're in your "subgarage". Everything I've found online are 12", and there is a set of Rims/tires on Ebay from Wholesale Cycle here:

In theory this would work, right? And I could sell the spare rims/dirty tires to Brett. Getting excited to ride the little beast.

Offer him 600 and take it!

sweeeeet!

[sandros]

Rain Rain go away....so I can go get my NEW PITBIKE!!

[sandros]

Can we get on a day this october? Brett is headed to a TTD next week...how bout in a weekend or two?? Doc, can you set this up? Since the loudon days will be over, lets play on pitbikes for a day or two this month before the weather sucks.

[Doc]

It will really depend on the weather. Call me to remind me to look at the rims on your bike.

Oh and i found an extra set of 12 inch dirty tires.

[sandros]

Call me to remind me to look at the rims on your bike.

Any word on the tire size? I'd like to figure this out tonight or tomorrow. Thanks DOC!!

[sandros]

Holy CRAP!

For two days I've been calling all over trying to find a 12" rear wheel/front wheel for the new pitbike. Beware, that Xtreme uses DRUM brakes which makes finding a rear wheel that is wider than a 1.6 virtually impossible. I tracked one down in Vegas, and hopefully it'll work, so perhaps in a week or two I'll have the 'tard tires mounted and ready...let's get it scheduled.

[Kurlon]

Much easier to just get a new wider rim and lace it to your existing hub.

Do you know off hand if the Extreme has drum or disc rear brakes?

[Kurlon]

AFAIK the CR3 was disc front and rear.

[eboos]

Does the Box Shop Track have a website or schedule? I am working on the 10th, but I am dying to get my 125 on a motard course. I haven't ridden it at all this year.

[Kurlon]

The box shop is literally some pavement in the middle of nowhere right now. : )

Right now the 10th is the last scheduled activity for NEMM/Box Shop.

[sandros]

Aright...

The search is (hopefully) finally over. Just got off the phone with TBolt. Vince and his boss there helped me a TON. Everywhere I looked, finding a front 12" rim with decent width to open up tire choices was virtually impossible. Sure one could go with a 1.40 or 1.60 (what I've got already) but it really limits your profile/width ratio that apprently affects handling, causing the shoulder of the tire to fold if you're draggin a knee (I'm quickly becoming an expert on tire ratios thanks to the thread here).

Vince helped me out a bunch and if you're building a pit bike and don't see something online, give a call, they may be able to help you too.

Anyway, everything should be here soon...It may be up and running for the weekend of the 16th and Billy's shindig. Fingers crossed!

Cheers

Ok, you got my attention. That place is only about an hour away for me!
