just this week i treated myself to a minimoto, early xmas present to myself and what a present, great fun and surprisingly not that uncomfy

was out on it in the rain sliding around, getting my knee down ( with the missus gardening knee pads on hee hee ) and general all round fun, oh and the smell of two stroke mmmm

only problem is the pull cord takes ages to start it and well guess what ive broke the pull cord already but today have found the ideal cure to this problem so if any of you have 1 or are thinking of getting 1 for the kids for xmas heres what to do

remove the fairing s and take the pull cord cover off the side of bike, unscrew the bolt holding the pull string in and remove. grab a drill and drill a hole about 20mm in the centre of cover where the bolt would go. now your probably wondering how to start it a sthe pull cord wont stay in place and heres the magic bit ..................... put a 8mm socket into your drill and place onto bolt in middle of starting paddles and use drill....... hey presto starts first time everytime no more messing around with the silly cord. my mates are proper jealous and are now all going home to wreck their cords up, anyone want any photos let me know or if you want a bike i can get them for £190.00 plus p&p i have 4 people so far and need another 2 to get the minimum order of 6 in

cheers

That's fascinating Deej. Can you post a picture of you on this machine with your knee down in your Mrs' knee pads - just can't picture it somehow. Preferably with a nice bit of cornish scenery in the background

Best of luck with the job interviews, by the way.

Any chance of a few piccies of the little beauty: A couple of friends and I might be very interested....

Deffo interested if you can post some pics!

[deej]

will get the camera out tomorrow and try and post some pics up

we've bribed my missus into sewing some velcro onto some old jeans so we can add some titanium sliders to them for real comdey effect, will hopefully be out tuesday night so will try and get some action pictures then

email me at 748boy@bikerboys.co.uk and i'll mail you the pictures, im useless at getting the pictures to show upon here, advice welcome on how to ???

the cornish scenery will unfortunately be no-frills car park as its floodlit and out the way of the noise police

the parents of the guy who bought my old r6 own our local go-kart track and theyve applied for a 2 stroke licence so then we can race the kart track
