Tommo,

I've been meaning to comment on that little Italian mini bike of yours. I've always wondered how a full grown adult could maneuver one of those things. I guess I now know it's possible!!! It looks like you get a kick out of it!

Wow! That's quite a wide variety of vehicles! To have an event such as that in a driveway is something else!

Here's a little video I found folks.... If you're paying attention you will see that Tommo fella on his Triumph and there is a brief shot of the aforementioned Ace.

thanks! tommo and cory, .... over my first cup of coffee! It's going to be a good day!

Cory
I'm 6'2" and 18 stone (115 kilos) so am not really the right person to ride the mini-bike but as you can imagine when you suggest to someone that they ride it you get the old "If you ride it I'll give it a go" reply.
Muggins proves it can be done and everyone else heads for the hills.
Its not difficult as your feet act like training wheels but to corner you must remember to get the appropiate one up out of the way.
That particular bike is good for close on 70kph so come on over and you can try it out. It's a real hoot to ride.

Peter,

I had noticed that you weren't a small fry and thought you still made it look easy. Good tip about the foot being up at the appropriate time! I'd like nothing more than a trip to New Zealand but alas I'll be keeping close to home for awhile. I keep telling an Uncle of mine that I'll get over to OZ one of these years for a visit. After seeing the great photos of your country I would think a detour will be in the plans!
