Is this the right place?

[trialsmaniac]

Hello from the land down under.
I was just wondering if this is the right place for me as I am a new member and have an avid interest in all things that move.

My question fellow enthusiasts is this the web site to talk about bikes.
I figure a Honda CT110 powered bicycle thing would fit in as a mini bike as its a small frame and small motor, but if this is not the case pleas correct me and i will move to the off topic threads. also i have seen some drift trikes in this catogory and saw that they are more like full sized bicycles.

welcome aboard..
yes, this is the right place!

c110's are small in size, not exactly small in every other aspect
So be carefull..

being 12 is nice, turning 13 can be hard, surviving until the age of 16 can be very difficult with an engine that size at your disposal.

So please respect rule #1
STAY SAFE!

Thanks Sid by the way i where all the appropriate riding gear and i stay off public roads. when i mean a ct110, i mean a mini trials bike. sort of like a motor powered mini bmx bike.

I seen a CT110 before.. but that's still a 80km/h bike;
enough to get seriously injured and even killed.

And (between you and me) it has some nice potential for some additional grunt
*cough*

But what I was trying to say mostly wasn't that at all.
I meant, that it's easy to fit a motor onto 'something'
and getting overwhelmed by that 'important step' in making a vehicle of sorts.
And sometimes one forgets to check the brakes or important bolts for tightness,
just for that tiny little testride "what could possibly go OUCH!" ?

THAT is where Rule #1 is important, not just for young ones, but for ALL OF US!

And if I remember correctly the time I was that age, it's terribly difficult to stick with all safety gear at all times.
(Yes I rode full sized motorcycles w/o a helmet and I am still alive... that doesn't mean it's a good idea much less sound advice )
at the age of 16 I crashed my similarly powered Honda (MBX80.. 80cc 9'ish hp)
on a more or less regular basis (once a month in the winter, maybe twice during the summer) and it's my mom's "You want to ride your bike, you wear the gear!" talks
that kept me from serious injuries more than once.

So for wearing safety gear!
But that's just part of staying safe..
staying alert and aware is another (that's hard when puberty kicks your behind),
checking the vehicle regularly and closely is another important factor (things fail eventually)

Ah well, didn't want to get too much into "dad talk" here,
take a good look around and make yourself comfortable.

We will try to help you as good as we can (with your bike AND your safety )
