VT Pitbike racing

[Doc]

anyone have a 12" rear wheel, and/or a set of dirty tires that would fit my sikk mx 125? i could just order what i need, but i figured id check first.

My offer still stands on the set of tires I have.

[KB]

That was a blast. I am still sore.

Nice seeing you Rob!

Awrighty folks....kinda rainy, but I'm hoping this'll be the weekend/day to break in the pit bike with Brett and Bill. Of course I've got to get through work first.

Ready to mount motard tires, and hopefully next weekend we can Kart track it...who wants to play??

[darkduc7]

Now, back to the topics of Pitbikes and all things VT pitbike related and kicking ass on a pitbike!

Kidding, I just wanted to get involved...

Alright, much fun had tonight at Freak's house on the pitbike. After a little Carb cleaning, Brett got up and running, while Billy and I took turns on the Xtreme. Sure enough in the first 3 minutes, Billy had a low side, but the nice thing is that these things are meant for it.

Lots of mud, low sides, one high side by yours truly, a broken clutch lever, and a broken front and rear fender, and a great time was had by all. Parker enjoyed his first ride on a pit bike, although he realized small diameter turns were not his forte.

Hopefully Billy will post some pics...We snapped some amazing shots. Thanks Bill for giving a great place to ride. Now I'm stoked to get her into some pavement shoes and go dancing again.

Can't wait for the pics!

Better late than never

Here's some good ones...it was sooo muddy! Especially once you tipped over. I of course, went down first, on Sandy's bike...broke her in right!

Brett


Sandy Happy! What a smile eh?




Priceless shot...






Whoops!






We had a blast! Got some vid too that I'll post up at some point.

Helluva good time. I've not had back yahd rippin fun like that in prolly 10 years. Great times Bill, you're gonna be missed, but I think Brett and I are gonna try to keep tearin it up.

[Doc]

Sorry I missed it. What is the weather looking like next weekend... Maybe we can do the Kart Track.

[darkduc7]

sandy and i are def in for this next weekend if the weather holds out. we were talking about it the other day.

[Kitt]

Can't help with the asphalt, but more than willing to do a scaled down dirty track.

[sandros]

I gotta admit...this damn pit bike thing is getting close to perfect for me. As a non-truck owner (yeah, I own a soccer mom car that's reliable and uses less gas and still has 4WD), I have been very worried about getting the pit-bike around...needing to call up Doc or Brett just to go ride it somewhere.

Well, Brett and I learned tonight that you don't need a truck to get one of these to your local Kart Track/Sand pit....just a station wagon.




From the Front:


Yup...makes these things downright convenient.

[Kurlon]

I have no idea what you're talking about...

I wonder if you could put a pit bike on a roof rack like a bicycle...

sick deal here...

Brett and I discussed that...The load limit on my roof rack is 180lbs, but I think the real issue would be getting a front fork mount that would take the 15mm axle..then of course stabilization of a 80 lb bike might be tough with such a high CG. Bikes have a high CG, but they top out at 17-25lbs. It might work if I can get a fork mount to work...then there's lifting it up there.

Perhaps some winter racksmithing is in order.

that is nice!

im still striking out on finding a rear wheel. apparently, just like everything i own, finding parts for a sikk mx offbrand pit bike is impossible.

You can't find any Honda rear rims? Sikk hubs to lace up to an Excel rim?

im familiar with tbolt and all of those pages...but vince (the manager there) told me that i have a smaller rear rotor that he doesnt stock. that rotor also takes a different bolt pattern than the wheels he sells. damnit.
