A mate of mine does it somewhere in South Melbourne but he has his own lil 49cc water-cooled weapon. I'm going to watch tonight so I'll post up some more info tomorrow.

You reckon they'd let me take my GIXXER1000 on the track?:riding

That would be awesome if you could suss it out. Take the Gix? 1st gear all the way~ yeah Hehe

I've seen pocket bike racing before and those guys are pretty quick.

I raced pretty steady in 04 an only a couple times in 05. It's a total blast.

south morang used to hire bikes... i'm not sure they do it anymore... i think they tried to "encourage" folk to buy bikes :(

Yeah, im keen to get one of the 110cc dirt bikes, want one thats got proper gears and a clutch etc so i can practise monos and stuff without fear of damaging the 1. budget not stretching that just yet. but by the looks of it for about $500 i could probably get something. maybe thats were my next oncall allowance goes to..

A few of the guys have those mini dirtbikes. Doing circle wheelies on them pretty well too. From what Ive been told, u can learn quite abit from practicing on them. :thumbup

I like these.. http://www.grcmoto.com/gb/index.html Blata also makes some nice ones. They are better quality than those cheap ones you get for a couple hundred bucks
