I get around on one of my mountain bikes, it's indispensible.
My boys bop around on Razor dirt bikes, which are strong enough for me to use as well. they're electric and like $350 new, they go right on my trailer.
I love seeing old school bikes at the track. They can be licensed and are all over ebay (Honda CT 70 would be cool). I have a 1973 Honda XR 75 that runs like a champ. Paid $200 for it and it runs like a champ!
Note: the model was not included in the $200 purchase price
I've seen pics of her before (not easily forgettable)... Birmingham?
Not mine, but I have one of these. 1982 Honda MB5. They are surprisingly fun and quick. I have had mine above 60 mph and its a 2 stroke 50CC monster. I ride it to work most days (80mpg)
They are kinda rare, but they turn up on c-list pretty often. Dead easy to maintain, simple, and hard to beat.

Interesting.
Can the Razor electric dirt bike carry a 150 lb person uphill? Like the hills at Road Atlanta? Can it do it 'decently'?

Probably not. They're supposed to be limited to 175lb, but I'm 210 and I hop on it all the time, but I'm talking just around the paddock. Even if the boys run them to the far reaches at the Glen they tend to use up their charge, so these are pretty light duty, to be sure.
We have used a Honda Spree (50cc) for several years. Can haul two (well, kinda, one better be your wife or girlfriend), we attached a box on the rack for carrying pit junk, and it wisks about at 28mph max, so it is good for the long pit runs... oh, it is, if properly equipped, street legal and licenseable, which most tracks require and you can find decent used for $300-500. Wow, that was a long sentence.
I just ordered a varla scooter.. top speed 40 mph.. range = 40 miles / full suspension will carry up to a 300lb rider.. pretty robust great reviews.. a bit pricey at 1600 but should be tons of fun, they had a black friday sale so i got it cheaper. Couldn't pass it up.. same price as a set of hoosiers.., lol plus i can just hang it in my trailer. Ive done a ton of research its well supported and great bang for the buck
We were using my wife's childhood minibike - a 1971 CT70H/K0. However, a few years ago I restored it for her as a Christmas present and now it's too nice (and valuable) to use. Currently it's sitting on a stand in our den. lol

You are going to love it. Got mine just it time to go to the track before done for the season. Varla Eagle is the one I got. I had a Gotrax and it was OK, got me around. But trying to climb the access road at Club Motorsports did not work. Display message was ONE RIDER AT A TIME PLEASE!
Escooter makes it is very easy to get to the AC/heated rest rooms too. Also good to cruise around the paddock to cool yourself off after a session.
Not so sure about hanging it in your trailer, it is heavy and the folding mechanism is nowhere as nice as the Gotrax. When the Gotrax folds the mast clips onto the rear fender and makes a great handle. Not so much with the Varla.

Where did you buy it and what did you pay, the $1600 rack rate?

yea hanging it in the trailer wont be easy im sure but i plan on making a sort of cradle rack out of aluminum so it actually rests on its wheels.
was on black friday for 200 off the thing that sucks is that if i got two it would have been 400 off each.. dg.. i should have text you.. sorry.. but you cant put as many stickers on it as your mountain bike!
