two of my buddies went in halves and bought a Pitster 125 several years ago. All it came in handy for was getting hurt while drinking.

I always raced 2 strokes. I got tired of hangin on for dear life whenever I felt like riding. I got tired of visiting my friends in the hospital, and putting one of them in the ground. Pit bikes are alot of fun IMO.

Used to be a pit bike, then I jammed a big stick in it. It has a stock honda 50 motor still, and an 88 kit waiting for some time to install. Needs a few more brackets, gussets, swingarm pivots, rear wheel, paint, seat pan, etc. Missouri has no exhaust laws, so I run 12" header.

Any pocket bike guys around?

Ive got a couple to use but sold my Chinese 47cc after it tried to kill me.. Every time I rode it Ive had road rash behind, in, and around my ears, both arm pits, and between most of my fingers, not to mention the rest of my body. Had to put a dampner on the steering to control the violent speed wobbles I would get when I when I would miss my line.

It was a single speed and mid range wheelies were insane but I couldn't break 50mph so I kinda got bored with it. Kinda miss rebuilding it on the coffee table.
