First start today! Some dialing in to do (jetting) and finishing work. Paint when it warms up but all I can say is WOW! Will need wheelie bars for sure.

I was surprised how grippy that rear tire is even on smooth cement... Plus wife's car in the way would be expensive if I crashed into it. I'll make a test ride in the court tomorrow - snow and all I want to try this thing!

Mini Bike Race should be fun - this has really good clearance and folding pegs - she'll run.

My Z50 is street legal, plate with tags and insured.

The Derrick brothers built one of these, it was stupid fast for a mini bike.
