Guest Guests Posted 02/11/04 12:34 AM Share Posted 02/11/04 12:34 AM If you have two sons and dont get into karts,then thers something wrong.It makes them hands on from a young age,cause your always fiddeling with the thing,change this,change that,stuff comes loose etc.Now they work on their own cars etc.The joy they had beating me,my fat guts you sure know youve been for a spinn afterwards,every thing hurts,the G forces are insane.If you havent tried it give it a go folks vik Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13695-go-karts/#findComment-182039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 9m 7d Posted 03/11/04 04:01 AM Share Posted 03/11/04 04:01 AM Just out of interest, what would be a good setup and approximate cost for someone thinking about getting into karting? I love having a go at the hire karts but have been thinking about getting into it more seriously for a few years now. Considering I will be moving closer into the city soon I think I might sell the dirtbike (RMX250) and get into the karts...Do you guys compete or just take them out for fun etc..Cheers, Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13695-go-karts/#findComment-182507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd rather race against a clock for a while before I started competing! Would have to see how much I get for my bike before I put down some coin for a go kart....can't have too many toys lying around..Cheers, Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13695-go-karts/#findComment-182579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
