    NSR will be a PITA... unless you get the new NSR100 4 stroke. i would take the Zuma, or get your hands on a xr/crf 50

    Why would an NSR be a pain?

    Whatever is most dangerous, as it will likely provide the most laughs and memorable stories. I cant remember the last time I told a story about how SAFE something was.

    With that said, I'd definitely get the scooter for its horrible handling, or the fiddy for stunting and possible ensuing injuries.

    My favorite pitbike is my bicycle with a small headlight. Nice to warm up and stretch for the races too.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    i prefer my suspensionless J.C. Whitney circa 1970 mini bike with 6.5 hp honda motor salvaged from a industrial power washer. it's like a paint shaker that power wheelies.

    Get something with an auto clutch, cause carrying tires is a lot easier..

    I recommend the XR/CRF 70. The fiddys are a little twitchy

    Pocketbike: too small, loud, annoying, and not easy to ride overall in the pits.

    Fiddy: *my choice* Easy to ride, auto, can race outside of Loudon, not super easy to carry big things on. quiet

    TTR125: *choice 2 for me* Large, manual tranny, used to be fun to ride around dirtparking lots (before that was banned). not top choice

    Bicycle: *choice 3 for me* quiet, easy, can do tricks when bored, not easy to carry stuff.

    baby Quad: It's a quad, nuff said.

    Goped: *My Dad's choice* small, quick, easy to scoot around, lil louder, impossible to carry stuff on

    A mountainbike is great to keep your legs loose and as mentioned above their quite.

    ....One thing you do need to think about is how are you getting you tires when you have new ones mounted?
    Last year I had a 3 wheeler and welded a tire/rim mount on it and it worked great.
    Otherwise your gonna need to use your car/truck to get tires mounted.
    You can always get a pull a long cart for any small 4 wheeler.

    So do we need to have a quiet time rule? No motors running after 10pm?

    So how about a TTR 90?

    I can get one cheap!

    Would it make a good pitbike?

    How about a minimotard racer? i know there were some classes it could run in the "Masters of the mini races"...

    Sort of like Strawberry Shortcake and her Bake-Off with Crepes Suzette, you could have a Post-Off with Firefly.
