Off-road karting in Kansas City?

[Mr Man]

Very cool.
My first bike was an 81? Rm80. When I out grew it, my brother did his share. Kinda miss that bike.

Gotta love the old 2-strokes!

I learned what a powerband was on an RM80. Also learned the term 'looping'.

What's a powerband and what's "looping"? Don't cheat by looking up a definition elsewhere!

A powerband is basically the powercurve, on 2-strokes it's the rpm where there's a large spike in power. (very simplified explanation) Looping is what it sounds like, sudden unexpected boost of power, front wheel goes up and over

My first dirt bike was a 80's something Suzuki RM125. I was probably the 50th owner. lol. It was a blast though. My buddy had a Honda Enduro 125 I believe. We rode the crap out of them!

Haha I know youre not asking me that... This incidence took place when I was like 8-9 and I had been riding for a couple/few years by then.

My bestest buddy in high school had one a brand new Honda Enduro aka Dual Sport as his first car (spoilt rotten, says I) that I got to ride on the back of in my freshman year. It was a Honda 4-stroker, probably about 125cc, not sure. It had the red, white, blue color scheme of the time and gold wheels (I think). Great times, we went all over on the thing.

That's awesome! I paid $500 hard earned cash for the RM125 in the early 90's. I spent more time wrenching on that POS then riding, but it was worth it. My buddies Enduro was worse, but it was 4 stroke if I remember. They both ran like shyt, but we had them running.

Ha! this was his, stolen pic of coarse and in way worse shape.

does anyone know a good sport to ride off-road go karts in the Kansas city area?

Gimme a zip code, I’ll find you a place to ride and/or a place to say “sorry sir, I didn’t know this place was verboten”

Here’s something better than a zip code. A circle!
