LMAO!

Speaking of which, where is that shit?

on its way......

The mini crotch rocket I bought my daughter for chistman. It is not quite a pocket bike it has got lights, electric starter, blinkers, horn, gauges and shocks. The sumbitch only worked twice. Buy a true pocket bike if you are going to get one.

i would say engagement ring, but it was almost 4 years ago that i bought that. oh yeah, if i do say engagement ring, my gf will kill me.

search around online. there's places that take those engines and replace most of the internals. the engines in the cheap ones have a tendency to seize pre-maturely. if you get it worked on a bit, it'll handle a LOT of abuse and will also kick out some more power. it'll probably cost you a few hundred, but it's worth it.

The thing only cost me 375 to begin with. How many hundreds is a few?

Also when do you thinK I need to get a rear oilpickup for my gsxr? I found the balancing point on my freeways wheelies. I am not going a mile or nothing thought but I can hold her up there for a while.

i think you're talking about $300, but i don't remember exactly. IIRC, there was a group buy on gixxer.com about a year ago where they picked up the el-cheapo mini sport bikes for around $325 then they were paying $250-300 to have the engine redone right away. considering that buying a "good" mini-sport bike is going to run $800+, it's not a bad deal to have the engine in one of the cheaper ones redone. you'll spend almost the same amount of money but it'll hold up a lot longer and handle more abuse.

or if you don't want to bother with it, crate it up and ship it to me. i could use a new toy, even if i have to sink a few hundred into it to get it going.

What about my other question about the rear oil pickup?

As far as the mini pocket bike. It still runs. Would you want to buy it for say $200? I will pay for the shipping.

i'll have to think about it, plus i'd want pics and listing of any damage.


rear oil pickup? exactly what are you referring to? you referring to something to help out with internal lubrication because some bikes experience a lack of proper lubricaiton when they are wheelied a lot? if that's what you're referring to, then it pretty much depends on how much, how long, and how high you wheelie the bike. the more of any of those 3, the more i'd look into it, but only if you know that others have seized their engines on that particular model due to excessive wheelies.

65 inch TV, it's a tad small. No lie, I should have went with the 73 DAMNIT!!! I'm not gonna kill myself over it though.

and A DVD player that's the same brand as the one I already have and can't control them independantly with a remote. I turn one on, and the other turns on and vice versa. Damnit again!!! I have two freaking players that I can't control, I gotta walk up to them and press the damn buttons! I should have just bought a different brand with a different remote!!!

Damn you people!
