Bibbilies, boobbles and beads!! Yea!! Roland loves them, and to be honest, so do I! The silly joy of racing these things is that when we designed them, racing was NOT part of the program. The first couple of races we came to , we did pretty dang well with our "grandpa" bikes. The racers are getting more competitive, and the bikes are getting faster..... This bike weighs 175 lbs, and Roland weighs 170 (basically same as you).
Oh, and about this bike having "twice the horsepower" of yours........
Let's see..... 88cc big bore kit on a 49cc Honda clone, with a 20mm carb.
How in the **** does that make "twice the horsepower" of your 99cc with a 22 MM carb??? You must have been straight A's in math........
We're doing this to have fun, show off our bikes, and see other cool bikes and people. I think it is fairly obvious, almost painfully so, that we are not here to stroke our racer ego, or belittle anyone else's efforts.
Thank you for your support.
Oh, and about
