If I were to try to ride one of those I would probably be stuck in that position for the next two weeks.

Yeppers... tune. Carb is a little rich right now but I did that on purpose to get more oil in the engine without having to mix a batch of 20:1 fuel.

Really ought to wear gear One of the guys from a motorcycle forum I'm on "just did a little test run" and crashed ( fell over hard ) on one of those mini cycles.

Broken collar bone and a bunch of stitches

The company that made mine was taken over by Blatausa.com:: Pocket bikes and Motorcycles:: and you can find one like it at that link for about $1K. It's the 2.5 hp air cooled version and it only looks like the back of the seat is different. Oh, it comes with the option of a front brake but it's over kill on that bike.

Here's one that I'm looking at getting some of the other Shriners to buy eventually so we can start another group for the parades. $239.00 + tax and shipping

If they had the 47cc-49cc bikes they could easily do 50MPH. I doubt they had the 100cc engine in those things, though, since they're a bit too small.
