I fecked my knee up on a minimoto, when i was importing the feckers for a bit. The front brake locked up on me, and threw me off... Tried to get leg round but it only made it half way, and I fecked my knee! APART from that, they are great fun. You know yyou can turbo them, and even add nos if you wanted to!!

Did you have to be helped up on it?

Listen, I know I've not met you and only base the above on the tissue of lies perpetuated on here... but it was too easy a shot to miss.

As an addition, you know we used to pay around 30 pounds each in a bulk order! They were not the Blata ones, but generic 50cc ones, but 30 pounds! How much did you pay for that out of curiosity? There is a huge mark up on the Motos!

Price plummetted for Motos after that... Not very well.. I gave up as the larger people were undercutting all us little chaps, and getting us stiffed. I never bothered after that, especially after the quality droopped off sharply, as China, and Hong Kong began to sell so many of them they didn't seem to care what state they were when you recieved them.

Ah, well. Where our office is, there's half a disused golf course. It's owned by my boss, but every Thomas, Richard and Harold thinks it's there just for them.
We get hordes of scramblers, quads, minmotos, the lot, tear-arsing round not just the field but the company car park, chucking gravel over the staff vehicles.
At this time of the year, there's a steady stream of fat shaven-headed middle-aged goons who bring their kids down to use whatever toy has just been bought for them off Ebay.

If we have a go at them, they get abusive.
If you try to be polite, the cheeky f***ers still get abusive. If we call the Police, the most they can do is ask them to leave. They come out with the 'Get an injunction against me then, I know my rights' crap.
Why the hell can't people in this land just do the right p155ing thing?
It's not even my land and I still get wound up about it. The boss is caught between a rock and a hard place: he daren't charge for using the land in case that implies legal responsibilities.
Whilst it would appear to be at least polite of them to ask permission, nobody ever does; and if they did, again the boss is concerned that if he says it's OK and then some kid goes arse-over-tit in a pothole, he'll be sued... because he said it was OK.
Fencing the land would cost upwards of thirty grand... but there shouldn't really be any need to, should there

Now I'm not a raving lentilist or suchlike but I am with BR on this one - the damn kid next door has got one to add to his collection of miniquads etc and he is a grand PITA. Some other laddies have them in the town and use the streets and alleys as some sort of private adventure centre. I feel the Landy coming out one dark night...

And that is SO true - do they get released in batches like racing pidgeons or something

Must learn to take a deep breath or two

Its true. Some high end minimoto's will go 70 mph and beyond... They aren't even the turbo'd versions... Imagibne scoting down the motorway, overtaking old ladies on one of those?? Woooho!!

Mini moto with nos


Yes that is a real nos bottle, not a lookylikey!

A bull would be cool but you'd have to feed it n stuff. There was a prog on last night (Police, scamera, reaction type thing) and they were issueing noise abatement orders )or something). They got one warning and if caught again had their goods confiscated. Surely the BiB round your way can use the same powers to get rid of these people???
