yeah i think theyre all made in china, ive seen a few really cheapo ones that look like theyd snap in half given some grief but thumpstar seem to have a pretty good rep as far as pitbikes go, anyway its just a bit of summer fun

well, nailed my theory test last week, and did my cbt this morning, the guy taking me reckons ill only need 3 or 4 lessons to get to test std, in the last hour, the only mistakes i made was forgetting to turn off my indicators (years of driving cars doesnt help)

cant wait!

Go get yourself a supermoto, it's like a mini on two wheels !

I happen to own a freewind (big valver version of the DR, comes with a lot of plastic) motarded and it's just waht I was looking for (maybe a little too powerful for road action)

Rusty by nature

most recent bike hangs on the loft, can't ride it. Just when I got it finished, they posted big NO TRESPASSING signs on the big empty field across from my shop, building a big shopping center (oh great). Don't want to get arrested. Maybe I will throw it in the trailer when I go racing again, these are good pit bikes.

hopefully the image shows up, if not then be patient while I learn HTML
