No problem, I will just have to do some work while I am here then...

Anybody know much about pocket bikes? My friends neice came up the road the other day with one and got me hooked on getting a pair for the wife and I. Looks like a fun little time buzzin around on a mini crotch rocket, and they seem cheap enough, 180-200 each but there is the shipping issue

Nope I have seen them but never priced nor looked that hard at one. Are they street legal?

Check with your local city to see if they are legal or not. They were here at one time, but each city started passing laws to make them illegal on streets. Too small, too many kids (and adults) flying down the streets disregarding traffic laws resulting in too many accidents. Because of that, they are cheap around here.

Not so much, the ones I am looking at are like 47-49 cc so IDK if they need to be registered or not. BUT, out by us we wouldn't likely have too much to worry about, it isn't like we would be riding around in a development or community. I really want to just pull the trigger and buy a new one, but the shipping is stupid on the things. Trying to find one on craigslist or fleabay, but nothing yet and I am getting short on patience. I want my new toy and I want it now!!! hahaha

We are in a rural area at best, and wouldn't be doing that much traveling with them, just goofin around the house. Can't do it with the quads, they destroy the yard in seconds, so I need a miniature "fix"

Hanging out at work, trying to look busy. Surprised I haven't gotten an academy award for that yet.

Things going good for you?
