New toy

[pinkpanda3310]

Please excuse me if this doesn't belong here but I need to tell someone. Delete if needed. Late this afternoon I got a bit of a bargain. All I've done is pick it up and driven it to the workshop (then I went home) 🫤

It's an Edge Sidewinder

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Wait, what are you saying? You got this for free??

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Lol, no. I did pay for it. I meant I've only had time to pick it up. I haven't even sat in it

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Ok well the entire civilized world is asking the same question: "How much?" We cannot judge your "bargain" without this data. And we are all ready to pass judgement, believe me.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Okay, okay. My faux pas. I have to spill the beans... or at least count them..

AU$1900

That is a nice looking kart for sure. Is that a 2 cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle engine beside your elbow?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Welcome to the petrol side.

If you can't tell, we are all jealous.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

That's USD $1,338.27

 

[pinkpanda3310]

2 cylinder, 4 stroke. Not sure how long I'll hang onto it. I can't run it the same places as my little karts

 

[Sparkwizard]

I want one of those for Father's Day!

 

[pinkpanda3310]

I think I'm going through mid-life crisis...

 

[Denny]

It’s ok, calm down. You’re in good company. We are enablers. Looks like money well blown, er, I mean spent.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Overcoming difficulties makes it more rewarding right..? Well, my welcome to the petrol side, as Mr Rocker put it, was trouble shooting the engine. The seller started the engine for me yesterday without much issue but today.... It needed a new battery which i was aware of but once installed the engine wouldn't fire. After much screwing around it turns out the plugs needed cleaning. Starts like a charm now. I also installed a harness because that was missing, checked over 1-2 other things and am now ready to find a spot to test drive it and make sure all is good before i go get myself lost somewhere in the bush.

So anyone passing judgement on my money... well spent.. does not pass my judgement. I'm happy as a pig in mud

See, so it all worked out good in the end. Nothing to worry about just have fun riding!

The title of your thread had worried me at first. I thought you were going to show us some pink thing that vibrated.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

What ever colour you paint your kart is your prerogative I've come from electric powered karts so this'll be my first time sitting on something that vibrates. Almost feel like I'm one of the crowd here now

 

[Sparkwizard]

Most of us don't have shifters, so you bypassed alot of us.

 

[Hellion]

I can't run it the same places as my little karts

Truck, trailer and a map. Think of it as a mini vacation each time, and we all need vacations.

... and I was almost in with the cool kids

Yeh, taking this thing out will be more of an expedition. I better pack some food and water.... ooh and toilet paper
