hi members just bought 2 chinese 49cc repsol honda
replicas for a bit of fun first for me and my son, rode
minimotos up at the nec motorcycle show and got
hooked straight away. didnt want to spend big money
right away just wanted to know if there is a novice class
or if the bikes would withstand it plus is there anywhere
near to merthyr that anyone knows for that is tidy to just
go and play away from prying eyes one last thing if you
race have you got to have your faring on the bike cos
at the moment i removed the faring one so i could move
the handle bars out and the main one not to smash the faring
haha! thanks for all the tips you can give me.

carew throw the winter you could go down with
the chinise bikes are good to start out on but if you
wanted to race you have to get a polini or grc but if
you just want to have fun on then your best of going
to practice days either carew or llandow or hully

Welcome to the sport guys smile.gif. Just starting? I remember those days! you can never beat the first year experience of riding your bikes, been doing it 4 years now i think. Yes as the lads said Carew karting which is location- tenby is a excellent track for getting started on your bikes. And is perfect for practice through the winter, then you can show off in the summer! haha. More links are further down the site for the welsh tracks.

Good Luck James smile.gif mmcwales/gixer.gif mmcwales/raining.gif mmcwales/drinks.gif

Welcome to MMCW forum Bandit, i so wanted to get to the NEC this year but it didn't happen mmcwales/cheesed.gif .

Local track for us Valleys folk is Llandow, but they not done any track days for a while now, the British MiniMoto Championship will hold its first round thier on 4/5 April - weekend, so hope to get a Fridays track day before that, and well worth the trip down that weekend to see how things are done, and how fast the race bike go.

Minimoto Racing, hully J1917 ov the M4. indoor track 10am - 6pm £20, is another good one for just having fun, was thier last night first time for me in a long time, and loved it, although i killed both bikes at the end of the night haha.

Other than that what the lads have said here, and looking in the track listings. hope you and your lad have some wicked fun, take it easy mukka unless your racing mmcwales/alien_greetings.gif
