Mini-moto

Having missed the opportunity to try out the mini-motos at BDB (it wasn't a particularly good "track" there anyways), I thought that it would be cool have a proper session on 'em...I've found a place near Swindon (so that's only 40 miles from Reading, and 70 miles from London...ish) that has "races" every Friday evening...

It's £25 for 3 x 10 minute sessions...which may sound expensive, but it includes the bike hire, and you'll be knackered by then anyway!

more info at: https://www.minimoto.co.uk

I'm not arranging any sort of forum meet here (although one in the near future would be cool), but I'm just making peeps aware of this particular mini-moto facility...

definately, id trek it on the moped for mini-moto's

the price seems pretty good less than a quid a minute

and as you say, i cant see them being the most comfortable bikes to ride, hence hard on the muscles, so 10 mins will be enough in one go Smile

but yeah, well up for it
