Where do you ride dirt bikes? I understand some ATV or dirt bike parks are prejudiced against go karts, but that’s where I’d start. Otherwise get on Gewgle Maps, select satellite view and scroll around for wide open and abandoned places. My ex had a “failed subdivision” behind her place and it had a network of weed choked paved streets, curbs, fire hydrants but no houses. Behind it were some trails along the RR.
This place 27°55'16.9"N 80°42'44.5”W reminds me of it, looks delightful but I understand there’s been some bodies found in the vicinity, but that just adds to the appeal, right?
Or just go outlaw:
Remember, it is much easier to apologize than to ask for (and get) permission.

Well, I haven’t done much riding, mostly just rebuilding older bikes (1981 yz60, 1985 xr80, and currently a 1983 sp100)Where do you ride dirt bikes?

But I know of a spot next to the Kansas river where I see dirt bikers often. It’s not on the maps as an atv/dirt bike spot, but I know it;s public and that there’s trails.

I’m sure most of us would be thrilled to see what you’ve done with your motorcycle refurbs. Even though it’s “off topic” we’re also a two-wheel (minibike) and small single cylinder engine forum.
What kind of kart did you get?

I'll be happy to post pics of my bikes soon! (my profile pic is of the xr80r I restored)
I haven't gotten a kart yet, I first wanted to make sure I could thrash it around without getting in trouble
. But I'm looking at getting a tomberlin crossfire 150r (maybe a cb250 engine swap sometime 
)

Baja 200 Upgrades
Hey guys, I sold my last mini bike because it was too small (Coleman CT100 w/ Predator 212). And last night I scored this gem (Baja 200) for $250 off marketplace. It's pretty clean for a used mini bike, it's all stock, and the headlights work. He also added a rear running light. When I...

You just try it, and modify it wherever it touches your body.
