I didn't take a suspension bike last year, and I was sorry:scared: By the time I rode to where the main trail started, my:asshole: was killing me. Not to mention my teeth was loose:laugh::laugh: It is very bumpy. There are tons of goofer holes. Lights would also be cool. You could ride until 10:00pm ( I think that was the time). It was cool to look up on the hill in the dark and see all of the head lights.:thumbsup:
O.k. As of right now it looks like. The mini Baja,at least one Super Bronc,the Tote Gote,I would like to bring the Alsport which is super comfortable like last year. But the MOntgomery Ward T-555 is a little better for racing. I Don't know if I am going to get any of the other Beaters running. I might just bring them to get rid of there. Plus whatever I pick up and can cram in between now and then. Who else from the northeast is going and what are you bringing?

It was my first time there last year and smallbikes told me to build a suspension bike before going because it was rough terrain so I built a Trailhorse with rear swingarm and boy I was glad. This year I'm going to change out the forks I cracked last year with Trailhorse ones with the shocks on the outsides and repower the bike with a lighted clone. And be there all weekend so i don't miss out on anything.
Sophisticated and super-quick with a full suspension, 3-speed transmission and lights yet still meets the 8" or smaller wheel criteria that separates true minibikes from mini-cycles and larger bikes. Just as home off-road as on the road. Enough power to take just about any hill and small enough to fold the handlebars down and throw in the trunk of a car.

Not really from the definition we had in the 60s and 70s. The Z50 Honda Minitrails were generally considered minibikes rather than a minicycle too as were the Kawasaki Coyotes and Suzuki Trailhoppers.
The Yamaha JT1 Mini Enduros and the rest of the bikes with spoked wheels larger than 8" were always considered minicycles though.
The minibikes with non-spoked 8" wheels are borderline though and have been classified both ways but 8" is generally seen as the absolute maximium size a minibike can have. Bikes with larger wheels are more clear-cut as minicycles.
