$200 from Global Premier (http://www.globalpremier.com/minibike.htm) which is in Lawrenceville. So I was able to avoid shipping!! 8)

Originally the bike was a very ugly silver that looked more like yellow. So I decided to paint the fairings and the wheels black. check out the "CDM" polished lip! however, I've decided to paint it again. But this time I will paint the frame black and the fairings silver ( a real silver!). And I'm also having some dark grey graphics cut for it -->My Cagllari will soon be a Ducati 999R....LOL 8) :twisted: [/url]

yea....i'll be glad to help you. we can have another 507 paint day....my fairings and your wheels.
it's running ok now....sorta. I screwed up the gas mixure though. i wasn't paying attention and put 2.6oz of oil into 16oz of gas. needless to say the bike ran like shit. I'm going to remix it tonight and try to fix my carb as well; the float in the bowl is sticking and causing the overflow i mentioned to you when I FOERST got it.

I'm also checking into stage kits for the motor. gianniniracing.com (http://gianniniracing.com/giannini_racing_004.html) will install Stage 3 upgrades for $250 and have it done within a week. Or a second option could be a Blata 2.5 motor. It's the most powerful motor that can be bolted into a Cag. at 3.5hp. But I'm having trouble finding them or how much they cost.
I never would have guessed just how big the Minimoto/pocketbike industry is.

too bad our bikes suck :(. me and chris both had hella issues tonight and neither of ours are running good. my exhaust loosened up and nearly fell off and then my chain popped off, but after i fixed it it's still messed up and won't ride correctly. then chris's engine keeps flooding horribly and had murdered his air filter with gas, so we're both kinda screwed for now.

i do have my aftermarket tuned pipe and air filter/velocity stack on the way though :).

nope, we actually had it pretty clear. we're getting pretty bored with walmart though (even though we did like a 6 minute course which involved going in front and behind the store and through the houson's and olive garden lots) and wanna find some more parking decks pretty soon :).
