Alright, so a pal of mine was talking up this new bike he got and told me I just HAD to ride it. So I did just a bit ago, and you know what?
He was absolutely right!!!!!!
Best pit bike/play bike ever.

Now, this thing is a Chinese knock-off hybrid of a CRF50 with a big bore/KLX110 frame, but it is actually quite high quality, well built fun machine.
That thing was such a friggin' blast, I told him I'd buy it right there. He said no way.
Seriously. It's like they took the best of the aftermarket available for the little Honda 50 and put it in one place. I've looked at what there is out there for the little 50s so I can build up my son's bike, but now I don't have to worry about it staying rideable for him.
Looks like there is even a step up from it with a nicer frame, but I don't know if they make an SM specific version of it.
That dealership is about an hour north of me, but it turns out that the headquarters for the company that imports those Pitster Pro bikes is just down the road.
I believe I will be making a phone call or two on Monday to inquire about becoming a small dealer for them. See what they require for that. Making a web presence and slapping another DBA on my LLC would take me all of half a day.
Either way, I will have one of these and a set of dirt wheels/tires for play/pit/general neighborhood terrorism. (oops, the FBI is on this thread like flies in New Orleans now)
