Default So I bought a pocket bike today...

Or anyways I traded a snowboard for one.

Now all I need to do is make a friend or two at craigs cruisers (Go-cart/laser tag/arcade/ect) and I can do mini track days this winter .

Oh, and a place to buy parts! Anyone know where to get parts for an xr-7 49cc pocket bike?

Edit: After a bit of research I realize that it's an X7, not an xr-7 :P

Haha you should do it man. Im sure if your brought it up to the manager they would be cool with it for a lil fee im sure. Then they could advertise it and do it a few times a month. haha

(legal issues would most likely hinder that though)

You could even get yourself a mini pit crew or something. Like this...(i had to take a photo from my iphone because my work computer blocks the picture)

I took it out for a spin on the snow tonight and it was a blast. Scary though at about 35/40mph on an icy/snowy, normally dirt, road. And its not hard to over drive the headlights. lol
