there is some bastard that rides one of those things around the parking lot by my dorm at the freakiest hours.... 2AM... 3AM 8AM.... and the thing is louder than the straightpiped V8s which like to race down the street a block away. Pretty soon I am going to get a long range pellet rifle, and have some fun. Or maybe I will just pour antifreeze into his exhaust.

I got to ride one of thos bad boys and couldtn help but fear that I was gonna fall on my @ss. My knees were almost touching the handles. I was just thinking to my self that I hope I dont hit a small rock or soemthign and go over the bars cause there pretty fast when opened up and Id be in soem pain.
Guy here imports them from Japan and sellas them for $450, I was thinking of getign one and borign it out but he told me I couldnt an dthat he tried and he blew the motor. I still think you could bore it out without blowing it up. I know peopel who have bored Briggs & Stratton 5-6.5hp motors for there go-kart.

Of course the main problem is where to put the bottle... Can you even get little ones that are like 1 liter or whatever?

If they pull a kid over for riding one of those, do they get a fine or do the parents? I assume they can't ticket them as there is no drivers license for the ticket to go against. This is the same town that I got a speeding ticket for doing 42 in a 25mph zone on my bicycle, which did go against my license.

Jeremy: You're kidding right? I speeding ticket on a bicycle affecting your driver's licence? I have heard of bicycles getting speeding tickets, but never should they affect your driver's licence. I would have disputed it!

By the time I get one, Road America won't allow them anymore either.

[QOUTE]girlfriend thinks i am the dumbest person for being into this thing so much... same with the 944.{/QUOTE]
I agree with her, so sell me the 944 - I like yours! My 84 should look very close to that when I'm done with it.

antifreeze in the exhaust makes a thick, stinky cloud of white smoke. As far as the points against a minor goes... a classmate of mine in highschool was pulled over for doing 125mph in a 30zone, on a motorcycle, when he was 14. His license, which he didnt yet have, was suspended until age 20.
