You also need a driver's licence to ride one, so you can't go giving them to five year olds. This also means that if you are caught breaking the law (riding at night, riding unregistered, etc), then you lose you driver's licence.

Want a better idea? Throw a 33cc chainsaw motor on to a push bike and pull 90km/h out of it without the need for registration, insurance, a proper helmet, etc.

Yes i did buy one, but mine is the slightly bigger one that has head light, tail light and indicators etc. They are illegal to ride on the road as supposedley they dont comply with australian design rules (this i argued as mine only need side mirrors to have the same features as my full size bike) and if you get caught cops can do you for driving an unregistered vehicle, which can mean loss of license for 6 months if they want to be pricks. They also cant be registered as they have no engine numbers. I had a lengthy discussion with a cop i know on the subject after he saw mine. Your not even allowed to ride them in bike lanes with helmets on which is bullshit. Still fun for when there not looking tho;)

I had a look at one at a local PC shop and it was BLOODY TINY. I would have no chance whatsoever of riding it.

Wicked little things though - tons of fun and top value at that price!!!

the one I had a look at was at "Inspect a Gadget" (or some name like that) on Poole Ave, Klemzig. It was the owners own bike (that is kept out the back), but he used to sell them. Not sure if it is the same as the ones Matt's getting. Some guy (maybe from JMS) had one he was riding at the Drift day - I think MattR knows him?

    • If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!
    • Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps
    • People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris  
    • Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)
    • That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
