    M&racing.biz or just find a rear rim to lace onto your front hub.

    Check on Weraclassifieds.com. I think there was a screaming deal on them not too long ago.

    Thanks for the tips....so all I really need is a stock rear wheel to put on the front hub? Any idea where I can get tires from? I don't know what size to buy.

    M&M racing seems to have fallen on hard times a bit....a shame. Think I'm just gonna go with a rear rim laced to my front hub. Tire recommendations? Where to buy them?

    Re: KX65 mini moto

    Got it put together and on the track at IMI yesterday....I rode it 4 or 5 laps and then handed it over to my 9YO son. He did fairly well for his first time on the road on a motorcycle, he'd done a bit of MX prior to this but hadn't ridden since May as his bike was broken after a collision with a YZ250. He says its "way more fun" than riding in the dirt - couldn't get the smile off of his face. With me on it....the bike is quite sketch as the fork is much too soft. What I love about it is how strong the front brake is now with the street tires on it....and shifting up and down with no clutch required...amazing actually, machine gun downshifts with no clutch! Upshifts are smooth too just require one to roll off the throttle a bit.

    Your son looked good out there for his first time. My son and I were the ones on the dirt bikes that stopped and talked with you as you were loading up.

    I thought so too...he had fun so that's what really matters. We both need to get out more and get lots more practice.

    I swear if another fast kid shows up and beats me in minimoto, I will quit.

    He won't be beating anyone for a while...he needs lots of practice, and his mechanic needs to finish setting up the suspension for him.

    You guys should join us at bandimere for the next Rocky Mountain Minimoto race. Bring your kid and his bike and gear and we will stick him out there with my kids to pick on the adults.

    Re: KX65 mini moto

    He's nowhere near ready....thursday was his first day ever on a bike on the road. I put him into MX before he was ready and it wasn't a good idea...I need to work with him for a while. I actually never planned on him doing any racing, just having fun. I'll continue to evaluate his progress, maybe next summer.
