New to this whole thing!

[XxBraydenxX]

First of all just popping in to say hello and introduce myself. My names Brayden almost 21 and im from South Australia currently living in the North Eastern suburbs (we can see the TTG track from my mates driveway), popped onto this forum to have a look around as my mate and I are looking at purchasing a couple bikes and start to get into to riding.

Basically ive never been interested in bikes but have had a growing interest over the last year since my first ride on my mates farm, but we dont really know where to start.

So basically where looking for any information you guys can help us out with. From what are decent shops to look at (been told kamikazees are terrible by multiple sources), What bikes to look for, whether eBay is a viable option for purchasing bikes or there just rubbush, places for riding, places for beginners to ride (wouldnt wana pisss people of by being **** and getting in the way, i know how annoying it is just driving let alone when your trying to have some fun on ya bike haha!) Basically anything you can help us out with!

Thanks in advance for your help. Look forward to having a chat!

G'day mate.

One question what's your price range?

DHZ are the best for bang dollar around. They have awesome customer service and always will to help and give you deals have a read of their reference thread:
- http://www.miniriders.com/references/28538-dhz-thanks-heaps.html
- Mini Bikes | Pitbikes | Dirt Bike Parts & Accessories | DHZ Mini Moto

eBay.. The only bike I'd look at would the atomik nitrous or one of the pitpro the rest are rubbish period.

You can also gothe other exstream and get a pitster pro, cinni or revMX:
- Pitster Pro - Home
- CINIWORX HOMEPAGE
- Marshall Motorsports items - Get great deals on SPECIALS, MENS CLOTHING items on eBay Stores!

Also get some good pants, jersy, boots and most importantly a good lid..

Once you get the bike and gear would want to do some of this stuff:

Price Range for the Bike I was hoping to pick something up around 700-800? depending if i can get something decent. As much as Id like to get out a ride it every week it will probably be more of a monthly type thing, if that helps in a decision too.

Thanks for all the feedback. Its a great little community you guys have going. All very friendly from what i've seen. Ill have a look at the places youve said.

Where do the riders down in SA go for a run?

NEW ATOMIK REIGN BIGFOOT 150CC PIT MOTOR DIRT BIKE | eBay

NEW ATOMIK NITROUS MID SIZE 140CC PIT MOTOR DIRT BIKE | eBay

Thanks for those two, has anyone bought from these buyers before? Were a few dodgy stories on the feedback but and a lot of the good feedback looked like it was from them selling "plastic fingernails" and alot was from one buyer.

definately give Chad a call at Dassa Motorcycles, tell him Craig with the Modified red China Dune Buggy sent you
he has quite a few bikes out there, he is located at South tce, Wingfield,
he has lots of pitbike 125's, 140's, 150's, 160's etc etc and quad bikes too
his prices are very good, and his service and warranty are the best in SA imo
their website hasnt been updated in quite a while, and only show up to 125's, but they have the latest bikes in stock
DASSA MOTORCYCLES&ATVs - Dirt Bikes

or maybe? try this guy, st peters, sa, near norwood

Cool thanks mate, im gonna go have a better look around this saturday morning with my mate and talk to a few different stores.

Whats the consensus on the PitPro 125RR??? That seems right about in my price range

 

[slambam110]

perhaps east 50's more so road rage cycles now, im not sure if has pit bikes in his shop anymore but would be happy to order it in if you are keen and always give you a good price. Just look at his site and give him a call. (For the pitpro bikes)
