Bought myself a nice little pocket rocket

[yeppers]

Heya all,

Bored as hell, so I thought I'd fill my bordem with a pocket rocket :D

Here she is: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7247873823

For those who don't know what a pocket rocket is, it's a mini moto. That one is about 60cm tall .

It's only a 50cc, the 150cc's are the awesome ones, but still fun , and fun to look at . Still, it has a pod filter, which will make about a 0.00001% difference to it, wow, how amazing lol.

Just made payment, so waiting to get her in the mail :D

Wish me luck!

This thing certainly looks interesting. Have fun with it! Just be carefull, you do not want to end up like Steelers QB Big Ben...

Looks like it went cheap, but I don't know much about Aussie currency. :td:

Have fun. And yeah, be safe!

Awesome, people look really funny on them though because they are tiny :p


Enjoy!

Woah, 'pocket rocket' means something quite different here. By the way we read it you got yourself a toy to use while alone (if you were a woman) :hehe:

BE careful with it ... I have seen even very exp riders get messed up on one of them ...lol

I want one of these myself but they arnt legal or at least street legal in Quebec, Quebec sucks...

You will have to video yourself riding it so we can see you/it in action...

The 150cc's are street legal here :o, they're the same size (almost) and go 100km/h, pretty nice :D. But the 50cc's aren't, mine'll only go around 55km/h topspeed on a flat, but you can get them to about 70 downhill, motor sounds like it's gona blow up though. But as long as I'm not on the highway, I'll be fine . hehe

Nice those things are a lot of fun to ride.
I was going to get one but I just bought a gas scooter from a friend for only $30

 

[Mike_Wiseman]

funny story, a kid in my class today rode a friends before school, ended up falling off and slicing his legopen in like 2-3 different spots, it was a disturbing site, the gashes were very deep and blood was everywhere, but it was definatly funny as hell!

 

[slipondajimmy]

I was concidering importing a container of them. There is just so much involved

LOL! I wasn't the only one who was thinking that.

 

[BrandonG]

Nice, Billy. I've got myself one too. Maybe i'll post pics later.


The bad this is that they're illegal here in the US though so I hardly ride it.

PS: Remember to mix the oil

 

[ThreeD]

that's awesome I've thought about getting one of those myself...won't be easy to stay calm on the seat though @ 6'4! Have fun cruisin around..

 

[yeppers]

hehe thanks all . Should get it on Monday or Tuesday I think, money didn't go threw till today .

It's killin' me

 

[000]

Wow, looks like fun. Uncomfortable-looking, though

By the way, if anyone hasn't seen these in action before, just do a search at YouTube - there are a number of videos there.

They outlawed those here in Carthage.. can't ride them on any street in town.. kids were riding them all over the place previously and I'd thought about doing dropshipping on these til the banned them.

Be careful.. have fun!
