To all those in the 'Loops area that still need to ride.
Not sure if this is the best place for this post but should be alright.
As some of you have heard, I've been introduced to the wacky world of
mini-motard. This is almost as good as Anarchist... no cops either.
Any whoo Sunday October 29th 11-3 at Kamloops Go-Karts I've arranged for a demo day to hook you other guys(and Gals) and give me somebody to bash bars with other than Dean. Track owner is probably gonna get ya 4 20 bucks-track liability and their closin' the course to cars. Trust me It's worth it. Bring whatever gear ya got I'm hopin for 3-9 bikes to be available.
Call me at the shop for more info 250-828-2750

Damn jim..Id so go if I didnt have to work sundays. SHould be a blast.:rockon

 

[redlightklondik]

let me get this straight.

for 20 bucks we get to demo "mini-motard" bikes (i'll have to look some up) at the go-kart track for four hours (depending on how many go)...

sounds about right?
sounds about f'ing awesome!

do you have any links to products or pictures or something to give me an idea of what to expect? thanks

 

[Snapperhead]

K guys as you are all aware, my puter skills suck. Don't actually ride much better. but for photos you can go to WWW.minimotard.org as far as product links. not really sure just learning myself. The SDG site for the ones we have is down. But, type in mini motard into your favorite search and you'll find lots.

Damn, that looks like a load of fun! I can't believe I could have been watching this stuff all summer out in Malakawa! I think I will mark it on my calender for sure, I love to ride different stuff for cheap!:rockon

Is this a rain or shine kind of deal?

 

[redlightklondik]

ok, i'm pretty sure this is going to be the most fun EVER!

do i need to find a motocross-style helmet? is regular street gear ok?
are you guys going to make fun of my leather chaps?

who makes these kinds of bikes? how much are they?
what is the meaning of life?

 

[starnack]

I might try and make it. like I need another new bike!
And yes I will laugh at chaps on a mini motard.

I would love to go to that on sunday but all my gear is down in coquitlam cause i leave my bike there in the winter. I was wondering if there might be somewhere to rent gear for the day or something like that. If anyone knows somewhere that does let me know please.

it sounds like jeans is good enough. otherwise, i've got an extra shitty leather jacket and helmet that i could bring.

 

[reim636]

Dude, if you were able to bring that extra gear that would be awsome. thanks.

 

[redlightklondik]

no sweat. i'll be there at 11.

 

[Snapperhead]

OK people.
I know the weathers gettin kinda iffy but I spoke to the track owner today and we're still a go rain or shine. I know for sure that we'll have three bikes I still have to confirm the others but I'm sending the same message to my supplier. If you have a camera (digital) could you bring it. promo photos/web sites and the like.

 

[reim636]

Unfortunatly I wont be able to make it out anymore.

 

[redlightklondik]

well, that was about as fun as anything could ever be
thanks guys.

Jim, can you post your photos on here? or a link?

Is this going to be a regular thing, possibly carrying over to next season? I would be very interested in doin this all the time! Would big motards be allowed as well?

 

[Bora20]

I would have been there, but I am working in Vancouver.

Maybe the track owner would make this a regular thing, like the track down in the Delta area.

Might have to get me a mini-motard...know any good dealers

 

[Snapperhead]

Guys,
Thanks to all that made it out. Single digit temps be damned. Now that I can finally feel my fingers. Great big thanks to Dave Chambers for bringing his rides. All 8 bikes ran for just about 4 hours nonstop.
Stacey at Kamloops Go-Karts has offered up track usage all year if we want to brave the temps, as long as the snow isn't stuck to the ground (we all know how much that area gets). To EOS there will be a series next spring. Currently I'm working on 1 night a week test and tune and 1 day a month for an actual race. Also hope to do a series - Vernon, Westbank, Malakwa and here. For more info you can reach me at the shop 250-828-2750 or Email me at [email protected].

 

[Bora20]

All year long, that would be sweet.

Another expensive hobby to feed...going to have to cut down on the porn.


Any pix yet? You can email them to me at [email protected] if you don't know how to post them here.

 

[redlightklondik]

correct me if i'm wrong, but it is a regular thing, but on your own machine. this happened to be a demo day for SDG mini bikes. go to www.minimotard.org to get the lowdown on schedules and rates for season passes and daily passes.

bottom line, you gotta have a bike. as soon as i hit it big, i'm buying the big boy--the 125cc.

still sore,
luke
