 Does anybody have one? Sound like a cool thing to have for the fun of it. They're at Toys R Us for $99. Selling on ebay for $150!!! Maybe a cool "pit toy" for track days  You can race up to 4 ppl w/o interference. | ||

Dennis maybe I'll buy one of those Gixxer's.The insurance has to be dirt cheap. | ||

Is it a friction drive on the rear wheel or is that chain actually functional? Can they be converted to belt so I don't have to worry about the back getting all gunked up? | ||

I wonder if it will lay down enough to scrape the rider's pucks???LOL | ||

Available at Circuit City for $89.99 with free shipping. The one on their website (and the one I saw) is blue & white with a matching rider suit. I think Santa will be bring one just for sh!ts and grins. I'd love to have one of the gas powered but not at 4x the price  | ||

I had access to a simlar device last year for a couple of weeks -- it caused me great embarassment to find I could barely make it down the driveway without scraping the pegs (and not on purpose) gave my women folk great joy to watch, needless to say | ||

i wonder if it would go fast enough that you'd have to countersteer it...lol | ||

the gassers are stupid fast. as in "no lot large enough", 20-50mph real speed. they actually steer only by countersteer. they have a lot of trail in the fork geometry, and the servo linkage is "soft" with springs. it just nudges it over into a countersteer. there are usually wire hoops that will drag the ground at about 45deg lean angle. just enough traction it will actually take of from a tip over usually. | ||

I have a gas powered truck that does about 50 or so. Four wheel drive, sway bars at both ends... It generally out-handles the cars, but it should, the tires are three times as wide  . OFNA Pirate 10 for those interested... I bought a race prepped (ported etc) O.S. .15 from Ebay. Runs REAL fast. |
