| Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? I've never bothered to hop on a pitbike, I pretty much gave up minibikes on the tail end of puberty when my toes were able to scrape the ground on a 125 MX bike. Now pitbikes are a huge industry and it's not just the kids, plenty of grown ups are in on the whole pitbike scene. Maybe I'm missing out on something here? Does anyone have any hands on with these things? Some new and used pitbikes on FB0 for those who are interested. | |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? Yep, they are not good to ride around when camping with mates after a few cold ones...  |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? All I can say is dont underestimate the power of a pit bike. 110mx bike is just that - a miniture frame with a 110 moto...quick and a lot of fun. |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? I bought my son a crf 50.. I use it for a pitbike when I do trackdays.. It came in handy when I wanted to take pics of my friends at different parts of the track without using my 954.. I've heard some tracks don't allow them though.. This was at B.I.R. God I love turn 1 |

 | Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? Pit bikes are huge mate loads of fun, very popular around carting tracks, change the knobbbies out for smoothies and you have a miniture road course and an appropriate sized racing machine on a budget... Seriously fun stuff. |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? I have a Yamaha Zuma for a pitbike. On a hot, humid day, it sure beats walking up the long hill to the bathrooms at the track. |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? I'm with HondaGalToo. My Ruckus is great for getting to the bathroom quick. All that hydrating I have to go a lot! It's great if you have a guest with you so they can go see the whole track. |

| Re: Pitbikes - Cool or Crap? Looks like you can find a world of hurt on those little things as well, the racing would be a total blast. |
