Im 32, and was buzzing up and down my street on my bike. 20min later a cop shows up and asked where my kid's dirtbike was. I laughed in his face and explained the situation. Apparently my lawnmower engine angered the natives who called the police. The cop ended up being a car guy and hung out for a bit talking cars before he left.

:thumbsup: Too funny.

We grandparents take turns having grandkids visit from far away. You can always tell, because some kid is hauling ass up and down the street. We take it in stride, because next month it'll be someone else's turn.

No one here is jealous of my minis. When minis were popular in 1969 , these dudes were already over 30.

I don't understand neighbors calling the police. Are people so spineless that they can't flag down a person and ask them to chill on the noise?

I haven't worn shoes in months. Come to think of it, I haven't bought shoes in over five years. Life in a hot place = flip flops. They suck as mini bike brakes though.

I do envy you guys with the mini bike events. I'd be all over it. :thumbsup: I'd show you guys what 3 hp of flathead power, unencumbered by modern technology can do. :laugh: Just before I got booted for being a dork. :scooter:

yea, trikes are ok. I've seen a couple there over the years. a Trike grudge match would be cool. (the one I've seen there has an 11hp Honda)

I'd like to go to the drags but I think I will be too busy working on the house to go or even bring something fast enough to play....

Gumpit,
If you like minis you will have fun @ the drags, it's fun to watch all the different bikes. Most people just have stock stuff so being competitive is relatively easy.

Joshua-
That other guy always brings his trike and races it, I don't see why you couldn't do the same.

This should be cool. Have fun.

I love it that there are small regional events taking place.
I know we had a hoot and look forward to another event in the future.:thumbsup:

Looking forward to this, it gets bigger & better every year.
One of these days someone might beat the Helger Bros lol.
But not likely, their bike is scary fast.

That bike is awesome trinik, I want to mount my motor way back like you did. Is that frame stretched/lowered? Nice to see some American-powered stuff still around too :thumbsup:

I fired up my Manco today and took it for a blast. If my throttle was working better I would bring that to the drags the way it sits, it's just a 5hp briggs with a TAV2 but I know I'm not winning anything....but I don't feel safe for me or other racers I mean it's fine for around the neighborhood lol. The Arco is just now a roller and I'm currently looking for a rear wheel/tire combo for that.

just got the trike running for the first time in 3 years and drove it around the yard. everything working good so i will be bringing it. now i have to figure out if i can fit my bike and three wheeler in the truck or if i need the trailer. also i just upgraded the carb of the briggs raptor on my bike to a mikuni vm22. i will be testing that setup this week.
