I bought a mini moto a couple of weeks ago (did try 2 put pics up, but it wasnt happening!!), and ive just came off the damn thing!! i was practising wheelies, and flipped it...!!!

Grazed both knees badly, grazed one hip and elbow! luckily i was wearing my motx gloves, otherwise i'd be in even more pain!
Bikes taken a bit of a battering aswell...cracked the rear fairing and 'removed' one of the pegs.

sounds daft, but im hurting!!

no, just some port work+increasing CR + opening carb up a bit.
worked well, hence the keeness to wheelie!

I have never owned a moped, theres no point I am to large for them. 6 foot 5 and barn door width means I am a very effective air brake.

noooo! when we were like 12-13-14 we used to find old grannies/grandads that had 'pedal n pops' or steppies, and buy them for £20....then we used to rag them round the fields by us. never had a road legal one or anything!!
