and that the buggies are breeding. The accusation is that my hammerhead came home knocked up and is now causing all sorts of problems on the carport. :surrender:

What do you guys think? (picture)


Only two of the four are mine, the blue one and the silver one. the orange(faded red) was procured for the kingly sum of $120 saturday afternoon, and we were running around the yard saturday night after spending about 45 minutes cleaning and prepping (not to say it was completely without issue, just without major issues). It's a roketa gk-01 I think, new brakes, good tires, and custom dog-chewed seats and missing reverse cable (broken)

the other black roketa frame is in the middle of a ninja 250 swap & it belongs to a co-worker (he traded me for my spare frame, I got a carter XRF-150 out of the deal that's just flat out clapped out, not sure what I'm going to do with it, it's still at his house).

trying to get em all running at the same time to go have some fun, we had 3 of the 4 out yesterday for a little while and it was a blast :auto:

I say more the merrier man!!

I tend to have my 3 Dingo's running and a couple mini bikes and a TTR90 thumper going at the same time. Its a blast, I Invite some friends and family up and we ride'm till they break ;). I even got friends who bring up full 5 gallon gas cans now, which is super cool and not done by my asking.

:idea2: You tell your wife, D:censored: right! There IS a problem! You don't have enough space , time, or money! Errrr to enjoy THESE fine toys AND buy MORE! Until then, you will make due of the resources at hand........ :lolgoku:
And if you want a free night to play,cause she put you in the dog house...:lolgoku:......, tell her she is gonna have to start parking outside. You need the room in the garage for you go karts.......:lolgoku:
My wife is under the impression she will one day get her spot back in the garage (i took it before she even got to use it... :cornut:)....... I told her SURE! When we move to a house with a 5 car garage, I'll build her a carport or something...... What? Did you think I'd give up space in a 5 car garage for a,... Car? :lolgoku:

Yeah I goofed and gave up a spot on the carport a year ago (got tired of hearing people b***h about it, including the wife), been regretting that one ever since, but on the bright side, now she's leaning on me to build my shop :thumbsup:

Would like to pay off the tractor first, but I'm rapidly running out of space to stash things. Maybe a pole barn to keep the $$ situation under control for a little while and my stuff mostly dry (darn fiscal responsibility).

Ordered up new tires for both and a brake MC for my blue one, some minor issues need to be resolved (see project thread) and then the fun can begin in earnest.


not pictured is an old carter XPS-150 (or xpf or whatever, the rail job looking china buggy with a carter sticker), and an old carter 5hp go kart that we've talked about putting the gx390 on (because we're stupid, and it's what we do..)

Well if she is going to "force" you to build a shop.. id run with it buddy!!

I got a 30x40 heated shop and i'm looking at adding on to it another 20x20 for my "toy box". More space never hurts..

My shop out back is 32x48 and I still have to store a hot rod up in the house garage! Our daily drivers sit outside, however that will probably change this winter now we have twin babies to get in and out of vehicles.

I could get everything inside the shop but it's hard to get any work done... No matter how big you build your "Toy Box", it's not big enough. I'm already planting the seed to add on a 10x20 shed to the back of my shop for the mowers/karts/bikes etc...

If you got the "approval" for a garage, go as large as you can afford...it will fill up fast!

that's what I've heard and seen. I'd like one large enough to put a man-cave type room in (esp since my daughter is 2 months out, we're planning on having one more, and I *really* like my football-americano as well as sharing my opinion of ref'ing), but I can always requisition the 4th bedroom over the carport after I throw the hobbit out.. it's already got it's own bathroom and is more or less isolated from the rest of the house..

looked at a house with a friend a few weeks ago, it had a 50x50 out back, that was verr nice (but I wouldn't want to share it, and that may be a subsidy type of thing). House down the street from us has a 40x80 and I fell in love with it. the new owners don't use it appropriately (imo lol), but it's just about exactly what I'd want.

biiiiggg money tho :-/

You could tell your wife:

It could be worse, I could be cheating on you with another woman. Instead, I am cheating on you with these go karts. If the go karts have to go, then something has got to fill the void.

But then again.....That is probably going to get you in hot water if you say it. Might just want to say hey honey, look at what this guy posted. I love you!
