Just bought a pit bike for messing around on and wondered if anyone from on here has got one and where do you go with it and what do you think of them ??

I know

Can't say I've ever ridden one but they look great fun, if a little terrifying in their dimensions.

They feel weired when you first jump on them but are a scream. You tend to ride them harder because they are small and its not as far to fall when you come off. I went on it for the first time the other day an was riding it quite hard for about 1 hour and now my legs and arms are sore and my butt feels like ive been in prison all week If you know what i mean.

i used to have a race rep r1 with rossi graphics on. try warden law i'm sure they have a sort of open night where you pay to go on the track provided you have the essential protective stuff.

Was just about to ask if there's anywhere good around our area that could be used for experimenting with such bikes, they seem very cheap!

you can even buy them from a toy shop in the metro now. 200 notes for a motox replica. some are pretty poor quality though. i have loads of private, fenced off ground where i work and must admit i kinda miss it now! there was an article in the chronny a while back and it gave a decent sized list of where you could legally ride.

I know some lads that used to race the road pit bikes and they did very well in the races too. I think they used to have big races on th carting tracks if i remember rightly.
Ive bought a FYM xsport enduro type bike. I was warned about some of the cheepies around. I got told to buy a 2nd hand one that has had all the good bits put on it. I cant belive how cheap parts are for these..
Good bit of fun or another hobbie as my partner has pointed out.
