good on ya mate, i have always wanted to race them but just cant afford it,

i take my maes out for a spn every now and again though..its race prepped an goes like stink..we muck around with the gear ratios to get eithr better acceleration or top end.

but i have this wicked plan involving a certain Vf32 sitting in  my shed

All looked a bit expensive there, but thanks for the tip Blak.

i think maybe we need to go out to kingsford park and take a few for a strap ha ha.. put em thru thier paces and see what we come up with as a collective for you :victory:

i use to race em, a yamaha j isi the way to go..cheap too? dontlet him near a rotax! expensive and go likethe clappers out5 accelerate a wrx to 100 klm!
its all about blance and setup in yamaha j, the lighetr eh is the fster it goes, an arrow si agood aussie chassis to start, but the euro cahssis sem to eb the winners? best of luck:clapping:

Man I wish I had you as a dad growing up..

Thanks Alex. Two wheels is what I'm trying to steer him away from. I once road road bikes but the traffic is far worse now, so the aim is to avoid the inclination to do just that.
If he gets into karting, which he probably will for 10 minutes, he may consider it and 4 wheeled motorsport as he's growing up, over bikes.
Boy's, we all have wog dads. We all understand some form of brutal beatings.
I refused to practice my Cornet one Sunday afternoon and my dad came to beat me(god bless him) for disobeying him. He went to strike my behind and clipped the back pocket of my Stubbies with his finger(next to pinky). He bent the finger that far back that the knucle closest to the fist opened up and his bone was protruding from the middle of his finger, what a mess. He hasn't struck me again.

This, however, is a thread in itself.

ah Frank... Memories...

the wooden spoon broke on me... didnt feel a thing, but the parents did.. it stopped there for me! hahahaha

I was about 11 or something, all I know is I'll be belting my kids too! this airy fairy BS about talking to them is rubbish..

did you listen to your parents when they told you the oven is hot? NO - you went and got burnt to learn!!

HUMANS ONLY LEARN FROM PAIN.

also,

try find one of those kits, you can build the cart yourself and just put a bike motor it from a YZ80, or a 125.. From memory they are from the states

This is why we have n00bs the way they are, these days.

Hippy parents who aren't into corporal punishment or education.

Them young whipper snappers,  full of over confidence, and lack of respect for elders.

We should beat up n00bs. Kinda like an initiation rite into Ozlib...

Seriously

+1 pn Mickey's idea. Stuff spending so much on a kart. Buy a bomb. Thrash on paddock.

I got flogged as a young'n,  wog parents FTL. only stopped when i took a swing back.

Frank, as silly as it seem. you only manage to get hurt when you good enough to do stupid sh1t that will get you hurt, if you don't do it right, n00bs can, the most the get is a couple of grazes and a banged knee-elbow.
