How much do dirt pocket rockets/ dirt pocket bikes cost ??????
There crap, unless you get a Thumpstar dont bother. One of my mates had a thumpstar and another had an ebay pitboss dirtbike. both 110cc and the ebay bike is just falling apart and keeps on backfiring. The thumpstar held its value.
Thumstar's are around $2,000 mark . Depends on the cc, if it a semi-auto or manual.
Ebay bikes = $600

Thats jap crap for you.
Frames are mig welded together with alot of slag etc.
Brake parts are held together by cheap nuts & bolts.
Buy a genuine honda/kawazaki/yamaha if you intend giving it a hard life

New Job
Hi guys and gals,
Just thought that I would share my new job news. I am no longer a Virgin and have left the airline industry for good. Stuff the rotating shift work. No way to have a family life or any life.
I have got a job that half of you rev heads would love.
I started today and am working for Cat Logistics. Big deal you say. Well we have the contract for Harlet Davidson Australia. I have over 8 Harley's and Buell's in stock. I deal with all the Harley accessories from chrome foot pegs, clocks, gloves, jackets, vests. You name it anything Harley it's in the store.
I have been like a big kid in a candy store. I turned up for work today and found that a young cousin who I don't see that often is my boss. Needless to say that I absoloutely am enjoying myself and having a few Jim Beams at the moment in celebration. Mon to Fri 8:30 to 4:30 with overtime if you want and I won't say the exact figure but it's well over what I was getting.
Sorry for the rant but if you knew how much this means to me having a normal life again after working 14 years of shift work, you would understand. I'm going to deck myself out in all the Harley gear but shoooooosh don't tell the Missus.:lol:

I was referring to chinese pocket bikes
(The CAG in particular named after the Italian Cagliari which it was a copy of or as I prefer to call them Chinese Aircooled Garbage lol) They of poor quality as they are mass produced with very little industry standards. As I said the frames are mig welded not tig welded which looks shocking & is covered in slag etc and are easily broken when dropped (no popping wheelies & no jumping). The bolt kits used on them are cheap & easily broken & threaded (not to mention work loose). The brake systems use cables that stretch & weak calipers etc. And the bearings are crap with alot of resistance which holds the bike back from producing the speeds it should.
Anyone who has raced a pocket bike will tell you to purchase an Italian or European bike because the cags need to be pulled down & almost every part replaced (wheel bearings, bolts, screws, nuts, accelerator & brake cables etc). The only 2 half decent Chinese bikes are the lucky 7 (L7 & F7) and the Banshee SHO. My 1st bike was a Cag, realised how drastic they were & built a lucky 7 aircooled with a full house 52cc stroker, awsome in its class but nothing compared to watercooled. From there I was upgrading to a Banshee SHO 50cc water cooled with imported Polini parts etc but decided to grow up and sold all my stuff
