			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past Sunday saw the start of the 2012 Guam motocross schedule out at the Guam International Raceway in Yigo. The first of twenty scheduled meets for 2012 was the first of two Warm Up Motocross events. The scheduled Warm Up’s are to allow both participants and organizers a chance to get themselves, the machines, and they’re teams prepared for the upcoming Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championships series which begins on February 19<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>At 2pm under ideal weather conditions the riders after a brief meeting hit the track which had recently been redesigned thanks to the support and efforts of Haw’n Rock Products, Bobcat Guam, and Smithbridge International. The design now includes bigger jumps and longer sweeping sections which connect big doubles that allow for closer bar banging action with top riders getting much more air time.</p>
<p>Open Atv class was up first and saw #9 Ramon Torres aboard a Suzuki Ltr450 thundering off the line to take an early lead over team Cycles Plus rider #1 Robert Bucek who was also aboard the a Suzuki Ltr450. Bucek chased Torres for the entire first of two heats with Torres taking the heat one win. Heat two was all Bucek as he took the lead right from the start and went on to take the heat two win and the overall for the day. Torres took second overall and had shown that he is a real threat for that class championship.</p>
<p>After the Open Atv class had hit the track it was time for the big two wheeled machines of the Open Motorcycle class to line up and do battle. #6 Anthony Ignacio on his Yamaha Yzf250 blasted off the line to take the lead in front of a host of contenders that included #1 Caleb Barretto aboard a Cycles Plus Honda, KTM mounted #31 Tim Wenden, along with many others. The lead was maintained well by Ignacio who after just a few laps had managed to start to pull away from the battle for second. Guam motocross champ Caleb Barretto was busy trying to stay ahead of New Zealand born Tim Wenden who was charging his way around the course and putting on a spectacular air show in his attempts to pass Barretto. Midway into the first heat Ignacio was way out in front and Wenden had muscled his orange KTM around Barretto for second. Ignacio took the heat one win with Wenden and Barretto taking second and third respectively. </p>
<p>Heat two once again had Ignacio on his Yamaha up front and pulling a lead over the rest of the field except for #31 Tim Wenden who was shadowing Ignacio’s rear fender in second.  Meantime #926 Gary Camacho and #3 Jacob Einloth both aboard Yamaha Yzf250 machines were caught up in a great battle for third. On lap four Wenden went for the pass for the lead over a double jump but came up short and crashed into the tire barrier. Wendens crash allowed both Camacho and Einloth to swap the second place position several times. At the checkers it was once again the Yamaha #6 machine of Anthony Ignacio who with the heat wins earned him the overall victory. Einloth was able to secure second for the heat and for the overall with Camacho taking third overall. Wenden was able to remount to take fourth overall with #98 Marshal Vawter Jr taking fifth overall in his first race in the big bike class. Rounding out the top ten respectively was #1 Caleb Barretto, #612 Devin Castro, #5 Shawn Aguilo, and #53 Tom Tarnate.</p>
<p>The kids mini bike riders were the next to race and saw 85cc Yamaha rider #14 Andrew Ignacio out front all alone to easily sweep both heats to take the win. Taking second was 65cc KTM mounted #80 Branton Kerns with his brother Gavin on a Kawasaki 65 taking third. Fourth went to Kawasaki 110 rider #6 Stoney Bucek with Paul Castro taking a fifth in his very first race ever aboard a Kawasaki Klf140.</p>
<p>In the 65cc class #80 Branton Kerns was unstoppable as he took the win over Gavin Kerns and Stoney Bucek who took second and third respectively.</p>
<p>The last division to race were the Mine Kids Atv class where Drx90 mounted #29 AJ Windham took an early lead in heat one to eventually place third in the heat. Brother Marcus and Mason Manglona only had time to compete in the first of the two heats so they made the most of it by taking first and second respectively. #27 Marcus aboard an Apex90 and Mason #49 aboard an Apex70. In heat two AJ Windham secured second to earn first overall aboard his Drx90 with Drx mounted #30 Tanner Costa taking a heat two first and a second overall in his very first race. Marcus and Mason Manglona after only racing the first heat took third and fourth overall respectively.</p>

<div>Brothers Grant Wilkinson, 15 (left), and Brett Wilkinson, 17, share in a successful weekend.</div>
</div>
<div>BROTHERS Grant and Brett Wilkinson joined the South West Mini Moto club four months ago.</div>
<div>
<p>Now one of the Warrnambool-based siblings holds a state title and the other placed second in two classes at the Victorian Mini Moto Championships on the weekend.</p>
<p>Not bad for two teenagers who learnt their racing craft on dirt.</p>
<p>Grant, 15, circled the Lake Gillear track in the junior combined class.</p>
<p>After five rounds the Warrnambool College year nine student had accumulated four wins and a second.</p>
<p>Grant’s victory in the pointscore program made for a perfect debut on his midi bike.</p>
<p>“I didn’t really have a plan on the track,” the teenager said.“I just tried my hardest and had fun.”</p>
<p>Grant and Brett joined the local mini moto club after riding motorbikes in paddocks.</p>
<p>The brothers have put their skills to good use on the bitumen. Brett, 17, placed second in two classes on the weekend.</p>
<p>He was runner-up in the senior combined and senior cag.</p>
<p>South West Mini Moto president Brendan O’Donnell said his club was proud to host the statewide event.</p>
<p>“We were a little bit down on the class entries than we would have liked but we had pretty good junior fields,” he said.</p>
<p>Warrnambool rider Jason Heaver, who was returning from a six-month injury leave, cleaned up at the inaugural two-day titles.</p>
<p>He won the senior cag and senior combined.</p>
<p>Australian champions Con Mozzarella and Bill Sayers won the senior elite and class five events respectively.</p>
<p>In the junior sections, Warrnambool’s Ben Platt was best in the cag.</p>
<p>Dromana’s Luke Davis won the junior elite and Cardinia’s Tristan Harmer topped class five.</p>

Please allow us to provide an honest explanation on why the event will be back at the Orleans Arena and held on Sunday, May 6th. &#8230; <a href="http://supertuning.info/2011/11/18/2012-minimotosx-returns-to-orleans-arena/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="articleleftcolumn">The MiniMotoSX team (MMSX) wants to address some concerns and questions regarding the 2012 event. Please allow us to provide an honest explanation on why the event will be back at the Orleans Arena and held on Sunday, May 6th.</p>
<p>After 7 successful years at the Orleans we were told that we would have to move to the South Point Hotel for the 2011 race (Due to a conflicting convention booked many years ago). Without a choice, we accepted the offer to be relocated to the South Point for 1 year instead of canceling the event. This was an agreement between the Orleans and South Point Hotel. Separately, the ArenaCross promoter booked the South Point for the same weekend for their World Finals.</p>
<p>We all enjoyed and appreciated the South Point venue and the dirt/track was great for the event but we knew it was only a one year agreement. That said we spent most of the summer trying to make something work to move the MMSX to the South Point. Sadly we could not make it work so we chose to go back to the Orleans Arena, which has also been a great venue for MMSX. It is important to note that the management at the Orleans and South Point were extremely accommodating and supportive of any options.</p>
<p>To further complicate matters for MiniMotoSX, the difficult times in the motorcycle market contributed to the loss some major sponsors, which make it extremely difficult to create a top level event. We were faced with 2 options: Simply cancel the event or find a different way to make it work. We decided to look at different avenues and realized that combining the event with the EnduroCross on the same weekend would save significant production cost. This is the reason the MMSX will be held on Sunday instead of the traditional Friday night.</p>
<p>We are all very passionate about MiniMotoSX, which is still the largest Mini Bike race in the world but sometimes reality kicks us in the butt and we have to make changes to keep it viable. We are already working very hard to make the 2012 race very fun and we look forward to seeing you at the Orleans.</p></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>DRUMAHOE bike racer Jordan Brown has sensationally won the Irish Pit Bike Championship 2011 title at just 16-year-olds.</p>
<p>The Mini Moto Racing Club Ireland championship consists of 13 rounds with the teenager securing 13 podium finishes.</p>
<p>What makes this champion stand out from the rest of his fellow competitors is that he has only been biking for two years and he competes in open races against adults.</p>
<p>The Waterside youngster travels around the race circuit both at home in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland; Jordan has had to travel long distances to places like Tipperary and Dublin to compete and his hectic schedule consists of travelling away on Fridays for practice runs. On Saturday race day he has to complete qualifying rounds and then the actual race of seven laps three times over.</p>
<p>This remarkable feat was achieved with six wins, six second places and one third place, but the modest Drumahoe starlet is already looking to the future.</p>
<p>“I am really happy that I won the title, it’s a brilliant feeling, it was a great season but I hope to do better next season.”</p>
<p>Last year at aged only 15 he finished in second place overall and he has gone from strength to strength and is steadily improving &#8211; this season he won the title with a round to spare in the twelth.</p>
<p>Jordan comes from a ‘champion’ family, his father Philip has been an All Ireland fishing champion and his brother is also a gold medalist in fishing. The family have a winning mentality and all that postivity has rubbed off on Jordan.</p>
<p>The full time student at the the North West Regional College in Limavady is studying Motor Vehicles where he will learn mechanics and he believes that his studies will help him improve his biking.</p>
<p>“My studies should help me be a better racer. If I can learn more about how the bike performs then I can only improve my own performances.”</p>
<p>Brown praised those behind the scenes and attributed his success to both his father and mechanic Gareth Crichton.</p>
<p>“I have learned a lot from my mechanic Gareth. He passes on advice and so does my dad Philip. Listening to them will only help me get better.”</p>
<p>The teenage champion is looking forward to defending his title next season and admits competiting across the water hasn’t been ruled out.</p>
<p>“I just want to defend my title next year. I want to try out the British championship but only want to be involved in a few races just to see what it is like. I will know then what I want to do later on in biking.”</p>
<p>Jordan’s racing season does not start until March 2012 again but the champ keeps on training during the closed season. In order to defend his title he still trains weekly and can be found zipping around Nutts Corner on his 140cc pit bike.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A MAN who had just served a road ban has been disqualified from driving again – for having a go on a mini-motorbike.</p>
<p>Stirling Sheriff Court heard how James Baas (24) was banned from driving for a year back in October 2010.</p>
<p>But the court was told how Baas effectively flouted this ban before it expired. Police spotted him whizzing around Bannockburn on the mini-motorbike at around 3.40pm on August 20.</p>
<p>Fiscal depute Kevin Corrins told the court last Friday: “The motorcycle was being driven in various places in Hillpark, Bannockburn. This included public roads, Morrison Drive, a public football field next to Hillpark Community Centre and Randolph Crescent.</p>
<div> </div>
<p>“At the time, there was a football match ongoing on the field and there were some spectators around the pitch.”</p>
<p>As for the bike itself, Mr Corrins added: “There was no registration plate. It was clearly an off-road bike.”</p>
<p>While Baas wasn’t detained at that time he was traced at his home address on August 23.</p>
<p>Baas later pleaded guilty to driving whilst disqualified and without insurance.</p>
<p>Solicitor Frazer McCready told the court: “As I understand it the motorcycle in question was a small child’s, described as a moto-bike.</p>
<p>“A number of people were getting shots of it then Mr Baas had his shot.</p>
<p>“He seemed to be under the impression that the disqualification was for road vehicles, not children’s motorbikes.”</p>
<p>On the same day at court last week, Baas also appeared on a separate matter – stealing a satellite navigation device from a taxi. This happened on September 30.</p>
<p>The court heard that Baas and another person had been picked up by the taxi at around 1.20am in Easterton Drive in Cowie and taken to the Hillpark area.</p>
<p>On later reaching Bannockburn, however, Baas told the driver “You’re bumped&#8230; I’m having your sat-nav” and made off with the device, said to have been worth around £50.</p>
<p>Police were called and Baas was tracked down.</p>
<p>On being cautioned and charged he told police “I was drunk. I didn’t know I’d done it”.</p>
<p>Baas later pleaded guilty to the theft. The court was told that the sat-nav was also recovered.</p>
<p>On this matter, Mr McCready said that Baas had been drinking heavily earlier in the evening and had no recollection of having ever been in the taxi.</p>
<p>Baas, of Randolph Place, Bannockburn, was disqualified for a year for flouting the driving ban. He was also ordered to carry out a total of 100 hours of unpaid work for this, and the insurance offence.</p>
<p>Sheriff William Gilchrist also fined Baas £300 for stealing the sat-nav device. This was reduced from £450 due to his early guilty plea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ryan Turner ignored the flashing blue lights and sirens of the police car and even rode up on a pavement as he escaped, Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard yesterday.</p>
<p>Turner, 24, of Sprowston Road, fled from a pursuing police officer on August 28 of this year after people had reported seeing someone riding the motorcycle in the Mousehold Heath area of the city.</p>
<p>He was riding a mini moto, a miniature version of a motorbike, which can reach speeds of up to 60 or even 70mph.</p>
<p>Lisa Britton, prosecuting at yesterday’s hearing, said police caught up with Turner in Mousehold Lane.</p>
<p>She said: “Mr Turner looked over his shoulder and didn’t stop despite blue lights being on on the police car.</p>
<p>“He drove on to the pavement, with pedestrians on the pavement, and continued on to Sprowston Road.</p>
<p>“He swerved off into Blake Court and the police lost him. However, they caught up with him a couple of days later.”</p>
<p>It was said that Turner was given 13 weeks in prison in July 2010 for committing five offences while being disqualified from driving and that he committed those offences just three days after being banned from driving for four years.</p>
<p>Turner initially pleaded not guilty to his latest charges on September 7, but he changed those pleas to guilty when he was sentenced at Norwich Magistrates’ Court yesterday.</p>
<p>He faced charges of driving a motor vehicle dangerously, driving while disqualified, using a motor vehicle without third party insurance and failing to stop a vehicle when required to by police.</p>
<p>James Landells, in mitigation, said: “Basically this is a child’s motorcycle which he had been riding on Mousehold Heath. He then panicked and rode away from the police.”</p>
<p>Mr Landells appealed for Turner to be given a suspended sentence and a period of unpaid work.</p>
<p>But Turner, who attended wearing a grey hooded jacket, blue jeans and white trainers, was given a 14-week prison sentence and had eight points added to his driving licence. He was then taken straight down to the cells to begin his sentence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>POCKET bike racers will arrive on the big stage in Warrnambool this weekend for the inaugural Victorian Mini Moto State Championships.Lake Gillear’s go-kart track will be alive with the high-pitched buzzing of the mini bikes as competitors navigate their way around the challenging circuit on Saturday.</p>
<p>South West Mini Moto president Brendan O’Donnell said the club was thrilled to host the two-day event — the first since the sport’s inception in Victoria six years ago.</p>
<p>He said the course won over the championship organisers.</p>
<p>“The track at Warrnambool is sensational purely because it is so open and undulating,” O’Donnell said.</p>
<p>“It’s a fast track too and it’s got wide open corners, which makes it very technical.</p>
<p>“Going into the bottom hairpin at 103km/h is not bad with your knee on the ground on a bike that’s just 750 millimetres long.</p>
<p>“We have riders raving about our track from all over Australia.”</p>
<p>National champions and former 250GP riders Bill Sayers and Con Mozzarella will be on show this weekend.</p>
<p>South West Mini Moto young talent Shannon O’Donnell and club secretary Dave Barnes (Australian No. 2) are also set to fire on their home territory.</p>
<p>Warrnambool City Council events and promotions manager Luke Cann said unique sporting occasions were always welcome in the south-west.</p>
<p>“State-level competitions bring obvious benefits to the city but we are really excited to be hosting the 2011 Mini Moto championships, simply because it’s such an interesting event,” Cann said.</p>
<p>Racing starts at 10am on Saturday.</p>

</div>
<p>A CLUB set up to give youngsters a safe place to ride their mini motos has been launched.</p>
<p>The Mini Moto Wales/ Cymru club, which is held on the tennis courts at John Summers High School, Queensferry, was launched with a fun day on Saturday.</p>
<p>Lisa Roberts, vice-chairwoman of the group, said: “This is the first club of its type in Wales.</p>
<p>“We wanted to give young people somewhere safe to ride their bikes.</p>
<p>“They can learn about road safety at the same time as well.”</p>
<p>Organisers hope the club will stop the youngsters riding their bikes on streets and around people’s homes.</p>
<p>It is open to nine to 16 year olds and will run on Saturday mornings.</p>
<p>Higher Shotton Tenants’ Group secured funding for the group from the Welsh Assembly and Communities First.</p>
<p>The launch of the club comes just weeks after 17-year-old Chasie McGowan, from Wythenshawe, died when he was involved in a crash while riding his motorbike on Weighbridge Road, Deeside, land which is used unofficially for off-road biking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upmarket car maker Bentley has been working to promote manufacturing apprenticeships and careers at its Crewe factory, focussing on the value and contribution good apprenticeships make to companies and the UK economy at large.</p>
<p><a href="http://supertuning.info/files/2011/07/bentleypocketbike.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1438" title="Bentley Pocket Bike" src="http://supertuning.info/files/2011/07/bentleypocketbike.jpg" alt="Bentley Pocket Bike" width="161" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Bentley apprentices show off their skillsBentley, a part of the Volkwagen group and a London 2011 sponsor, has made skills and apprenticeships a major theme in and around its Crewe factory over the last three weeks helping to raise awareness of manufacturing and the range of career opportunities. Last week it hosted an expert seminar on &#8216;Value of Apprenticeships&#8217;.</p>
<p>Personnel director Christine Gaskell said good quality apprenticeship schemes were the bedrock of Bentley&#8217;s future. &#8220;If companies such as Bentley are to remain internationally competitive, we have to attract the best young people and give them a training programme that allows them to flourish.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alongside the event, three of Bentleys&#8217; apprentices (pictured), Paul Alcock, Maintenance Technician, Marcus Gorvin, Technical Support Craft Apprentice, and Reece Jenks, Tool Room Craft Apprentice, showcased their skill levels having created a fully functioning mini moto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small toy motorcycle is driving the people of Meerut crazy.</p>
<p>Asif, a mechanic, created the miniature motorcycle for his four-year-old son Shaan. He never thought it would become such a rage.</p>
<p>The gear-less toy bike measures around 1.3 feet from the ground, while its length is slightly over three feet. It is limited to a speed of 60 km/hour. From disc brakes, alloy wheels to double silencers &#8211; Shaan&#8217;s bike features them all.</p>
<p>The multi-coloured toy bike has become the talk of the town with people offering Rs.1 to Rs.2 lakh to take it home. When Shaan comes riding on it, his friends as well as older people crave for a test ride.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am being flooded with offers. People are ready to pay me in lakhs to own the toy bike I created for my son with an investment of over Rs.20,000. Though in terms of speed it would not match a sports bike, but in looks, pick-up, mileage or any other feature, the toy bike will not let you down,&#8221; Asif told IANS.</p>
<p>&#8220;As I created the bike for my son, at present I am in no mood to sell it. My son loves riding it. As he is a kid, I always accompany him whenever he rides the bike,&#8221; added Asif, 35, who has been running an automobile repairing shop in the Shyamnagar area for the last 15 years.</p>
<p>&#8220;Considering its small size, only one person can sit comfortably on the bike. However, I always ensure an adult accompanies Shaan every time he takes out the bike,&#8221; said Asif, claiming that the bike&#8217;s average is 60 km/litre.</p>
<p>It took around six months for Asif to come up with the mini bike he gifted to his son.</p>
<p>&#8220;As I wanted to gift the bike to my son, the first thing that I kept in my mind was that the bike should have a low height so that a kid doesn&#8217;t face any difficulty in riding it. It was also decided that the weight of the bike should also be very less so that my son could balance it,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Besides the generator engine, most of the parts used in the toy bike have been prepared by me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Asif said he moulded several items normally left abandoned at a mechanic&#8217;s shop to use for the toy bike.</p>
<p>People are also approaching Asif to get a similar toy bike designed for their kids.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every day four-five people come to my shop and ask me to design a toy bike. Due to my busy schedule, I am not accepting the proposals for now but can consider the same in coming days,&#8221; said Asif.</p>

<p>Residents have flooded police with complaints about the noise created when youths tear up the streets on uninsured bikes.</p>
<p>One man was even caught riding along the canal towpath with his two-year-old son on a quad bike. Neither were wearing helmets.</p>
<p>On Sunday night, the police helicopter was dispatched to gather evidence of the activity on the town’s streets.</p>
<p>On Monday evening police received several reports that youths had gathered in Lees Lane and were riding on a mini moto.</p>
<p>PCSO Craig Simpson said: “That has been reported a lot, we’ve been after that for a while.</p>
<p>“I seized a couple of bikes the other week.</p>
<p>“I’ve cycled right up to them before they’ve realised we’re police. They’ll either drop the bike and leg it or say it’s a fair cop.</p>
<p>“We are looking to get funding to train three or four officers to deal with the problem, who will be on off-road bikes.</p>
<p>“We are trying to get as many illegal bikes off the road as possible.”</p>
<p>Mr Simpson says that while it is force policy not to pursue mini moto riders – in case a helmet-less child gets hurt – the police are winning the battle against the anti-social activity.</p>
<p>He believes the opening of a motocross park next month on Shellway Road will draw many riders off the streets and on to a course that is controlled and legal to ride on.</p>
<p>“The kids are saying ‘where else are we supposed to go?’,” he said.</p>
<p>“The majority of the kids know. You’re never going to totally stop the kids who don’t want to be involved, but there are a lot of kids that used to ride and are now waiting for the park to open.</p>
<p>“BASE, which will runs the park, has identified these young people and got them helping to build the track.”</p>
<p>He added: “From a policing point of view, we’ve definitely seen a decrease.</p>
<p>“What we’ve found has decreased is the kids that used to ride with all the gear. The ones we’re dealing with are the ones doing it with no crash helmets or safety in mind.</p>
<p>“Whether we’re going to get them to change their ways I don’t know.</p>
<p>“It tends to be in the Stanney Grange area. It’s not confined to there but that’s the area they can get under the motorway and across the fields.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THREE mini motos were seized, in Carnforth, by police as part of a crack down on nuisance riders. Two of the bikes were taken from the same rider, after he was stopped twice in the same day by police while they were carrying out the operation in Carnforth. Officers from the road policing unit and the neighbourhood police team are clamping down on the problem following a number of complaints from residents. Mini motos can only be driven on private land, with the permission of the land owner, but many of them are being ridden on public footpaths and roads, on school playing fields, car parks and on the beach. Riders often do not have driving licences, insurance, MOTs or safety equipment such as helmets, so they are both a danger to themselves and other people. On Saturday, patrols confiscated a mini moto from a 24-year-old on Highfield Road. The same rider was stopped shortly afterwards with a different machine while on Tipping Road. Again the bike was seized and the man has been reported for several motoring offences. A second rider, age 20, was also stopped on Tipping Road, which leads to the quarry, and his bike was seized; he was given six penalty points and a £200 fine. PC Iain Moneagle, road policing, said: “Too many people drive these mini motos irresponsibly and it can cause real problems, not just in Carnforth but in many rural areas across the county. “Riders can be a menace as these bikes are ridden at all times of the day and evening, creating lots of noise and causing environmental damage as they churn up the land. Aside from this, a lot of these bikes are in a dangerous condition, and are not just a risk for the rider but also for innocent members of the public who they ride past.” He added: “The school holidays are almost upon us and traditionally we get more complaints during this period. We will continue to crack down on this problem and will not tolerate these vehicles on public land or highways. Riders will be prosecuted and their vehicles will be seized.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NUISANCE mini moto riders in Peterborough have been warned they risk having their bikes seized and crushed by police.</p>
<p>Officers say they are braced for a flood of complaints from city residents about disturbances, noise and near misses caused by youths riding mini motos down alleyways, footpaths and lanes.</p>
<p>They fear the longer nights and upcoming school holidays will see a surge in the number of incidents of mini motos being ridden illegally either on the city’s streets or off-road in beauty spots.</p>
<p>Teenagers risk both their lives and passing pedestrians as well as a hefty fine and losing their vehicle.</p>
<p>Detective Chief Inspector Gary Goose, community safety strategy manager for the SaferPeterborough partnership said: “This is a seasonal problem and we often see a rise in complaints in summer,</p>
<p>“We are trying to appeal to parents not to let their kids ride their little mopeds where they shouldn’t.</p>
<p>“They are a nuisance for residents because of the constant noise. But the riders are putting themselves in danger and also families who are having picnics or enjoying the green spaces.”</p>
<p>The police have been working with schools, speaking directly to the children as well as providing parents with information.</p>
<p>They hope to get the message about the dangers but also they risk a fine and losing the vehicle.</p>
<p>Officers have the powers to seize and crush vehicles if they are being ridden illegally.</p>
<p>Three months ago police revealed they had received a number of complaints about mini motos from residents in Ringwood, Teanby Close and Walkers Way areas of north Bretton.</p>
<p>A Cambridgeshire police spokeswoman said: “Mini motos can be dangerous when used in public places.</p>
<p>“They are not designed with road safety in mind, as they are essentially toys.</p>
<p>“We take a zero tolerance approach if they are being ridden in a way that is not only dangerous for the rider but also pedestrians and other road users.</p>
<p>She added: “We would urge anyone who owns a mini-motorbike or is the parent of a child who owns one to think about the consequences before breaking the law.</p>

<div><img title="Karoon vrooms ahead" src="http://www.deccanchronicle.com/files/Karoon-vrooms-ahead-040111.jpg" alt="Karoon vrooms ahead" width="400" height="300" /></div>
<p id="p-tag">The Indian Rossi’, ‘India’s fastest kid’ ‘Racing  prodigy’ &#8211; these are just some of the titles given to Karoon Murthy. And  before you think he’s a 20-something superstar, here’s a shocker — he’s  just seven! This small wonder has astonished many with his racing and  stunt-biking abilities. He’s  coming to Bengaluru to perform  exhilarating stunts with world famous stunt-rider Chris Pfeiffer.</p>
<p id="p-tag">Karoon’s interest in bikes began when he was just two.   Karoon started riding battery bikes and he started racing when he was  four. “He is the youngest kid in the world to race professionally,” says  his father. Interestingly, world champion Valentino Rossi too was a  pocket bike racer as a kid.</p>
<p id="p-tag">Ask Karoon about his passion for stunt-biking and he says,  “I love it ‘cos I like all the stunts so much. I don’t get scared all!”</p>
<p id="p-tag">From wheelie to stoppie and side-sketching to flamingo and  high-chair, the little star does ‘em all! “I even perform ‘one leg up’  and ‘one leg out.’ But my favourite is the ‘full stand up’ where I stand  on the bike. I really like doing, it’s very exciting,” says Karoon.</p>
<p id="p-tag">While Kaushk taught his son how to race, he says, “Karoon  picked up the techniques on his own. He started standing on the bike and  now he does all the stunts that the big guys do,” he adds.</p>
<p id="p-tag">Despite the hectic training sessions, Karoon manages to  ace his tests, especially math. “But social studies is my favourite  subject,” says the third standard student of GRT Matriculation, Chennai.  His mother Kaveri adds, “He’s really good at math. He is very observant  in class and doesn’t need any extra training. He just scored 89 in math  even though I didn’t teach him anything. He makes his strict math  teacher smile!”</p>
<p id="p-tag">Karoon’s incredible feats ensured that he was the first  Indian to get a MotoGP invite. “But he was unable to ride at the Red  Bull Rookies Cup ‘cos the minimum age limit was 11. They said he can  take part in three years, so he will practice till then,” says Kaushk.</p>
<p id="p-tag">The little speed-racer will set the tracks on fire on his  imported 135 cc pocketsize Honda. “We’ve spent nearly half a crore for  his racing,” says Kaushk, who has managed to fund his son’s racing till  now. But he would be glad if Karoon got sponsors. “He’s a promising kid  in the Indian MotoGP circuit and is 2.5 seconds faster than the current  national champion in the Group D category. But people look at only  cricket here,” he says.</p>
<p id="p-tag">Little Karoon says that he loves racing because of the  speed. “I’m a huge Chris Pfeiffer fan. I love the way he performs his  stunts. I also like Valentino Rossi and want to be like him in the  future,” he says.</p>
<p id="p-tag">Amen to that!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COVENTRY youngster Chris Taylor has been rewarded for his outstanding efforts in his debut season in the LCRRC British Mini Moto Championship by securing a surprise sponsorship deal with Stomp – the biggest pit bike manufacturer in the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The 11-year-old, who finished runner up in the competitive Junior road racing mini motorcycles event at his first attempt, was visiting the Bike Show at The NEC in Birmingham with his parents in the hope of getting sponsorship for 2011.</p>
<p>And after approaching the Stomp stand and impressing with his performances, determination, and enthusiasm, they offered him a brand new 125 Junior MiniGP class bike, a mini version of the one that five times World MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi rode in finishing third in the standings this year.</p>
<p>Chris’ mum Lorraine Taylor said: “It all came out of the blue and we were all delighted. Chris is so excited to be given a new bike, he could hardly sleep that night as he was so excited.</p>
<p>“And for it to be the same as his hero Rossi is something he never expected, that’s for sure. He can’t wait to get racing on it.</p>
<p>“We’re so grateful to Stomp for their generosity and Chris really keen to do well and give them something back for their support. Stomp will help in any way they can and they are looking forward to seeing him on the podium and chasing down his dream to be the next Valentino Rossi. The Chris Taylor team is looking forward to a successful 2011 season.”</p>
<p>The youngster will ride the new bike for the first time at Kinsham Circuit in Herefordshire on March 26 and 27. He’s currently competing in the LCRRC Winter Series which stages its next meeting on Sunday, January 30 at the Stretton Circuit in Leicester.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BANGALORE: He was three-and-a-half years old when he first rode a pocket bike at an automobile exhibition. Karoon&#8217;s stunt master father Kaushik Murthy, who participates in auto shows, saw a worthy successor in him, little realizing he was encouraging him to break the law.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how the 7-year-old boy has come to take part in auto shows across the country and currently showing off his skills at one such show in Palace Grounds here.</p>
<p>Karoon loves riding his pocket bikes, hitting a top speed of 130 kmph. On a big bike, he does wheelies, drag races and other stunts. His bike has been seized twice by Coimbatore police during a track race for over-speeding. He can handle any bike and now owns seven pocket bikes, which cost around Rs 1.5 lakh each.</p>
<p>Karoon told TOI he isn&#8217;t afraid while performing stunts. &#8220;I&#8217;ve fallen many times while practising and in events too. But the more I fall, the more I learn.&#8221; The father-son duo travels to Sriperumbudur each weekend to practise on the track there.</p>
<p>The Class 3 student is a resident of Ashok Nagar, Chennai. &#8220;To everyone&#8217;s surprise, Karoon gives good feedback about a vehicle&#8217;s performance. He has good knowledge of the basic technologies of a motorbike,&#8221; Kaushik said.</p>
<p>Karoon has his priorities clear: &#8220;When there are exams, I stay away from bikes and concentrate on studies.&#8221; His talent has been widely appreciated. After seeing one his clips on YouTube, the Moto GP Rookies Cup organizers told him they looked forward to his participation. It&#8217;ll be two years before he meets the age criteria. Till then, Karoon wants to train hard before participating in major events. &#8220;I have already spent nearly Rs 40 lakh on coaching Karoon and will send him to Germany for further training,&#8221; Kaushik said.</p>
<p>LEGAL VIEW</p>
<p>Driving registered vehicles by anyone below 18 years is a violation of law. Go-karting is an exception as it&#8217;s not a registered motor vehicle. Besides, go-karting is done in a closed circuit. Driving a vehicle in any place other than a go-karting ring is an offence. It&#8217;s up to traffic police to enforce rules and they should look into this issue said Bhaskar Rao, transport commissioner. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you have purchased on of your favorite fast pocket bikes, it is  hard to even wait for another second to go out for a ride. But wait! If  you want your pocket bike to last for long, it is necessary to pay due  attention to its maintenance. This article provides useful tips for  maintenance of your mini bikes.</p>
<p>How to break in the engine?</p>
<p>Be  it a ninja pocket bike, a racing bike, or any other type of mini bike,  it is very essential to break in the engine for the longevity and high  performance of your mini bike. Don’t just start your bike and ride it at  the highest speed possible. It can be very detrimental for your bike’s  engine. Once you start your bike, ride it at an idle speed for around 5  to 10 minutes. This is the time that your engine takes to get heated and  operational. After that you can increase the speed of your bike.</p>
<p>Keep a regular check</p>
<p>It  is advisable to keep a check on various parts of your pocket bike,  especially brakes. You should not postpone any repair work that is  pending in your pocket bikes. Unlimited online vendors are available who  not only sell bikes but also provide guidelines for the maintenance of  your bikes. If any part of your bike is not functioning properly, you  should get it checked immediately. If any fault is left unchecked, it  might lead to further deterioration of your mini bike.</p>
<p>Other maintenance tips</p>
<p>A  little diligence and discipline can help you enhance the life of your  pocketbikes. Unlimited websites are available to provide you with as  much information as you want on the maintenance tips of mini bikes.  Using correct fuel mixture, regular oiling and lubricating of your  bike’s parts and regular servicing of the bike are some of the most  important tips to keep your mini bikes in good order. Another important  point is to use good quality fuel and engine oil for your mini bike.</p>

<h2>SKILFUL RIDERS: David Saunders (left) and  Conor Morris take the sidecar motorcycle for its last test run before  heading to Manfeild. BEVAN CONLEY 171010CBRCMINIMB</h2>

<p>They&#8217;re small, fast, custom-built and ready to race.</p>
<p>Students  from Wanganui City College&#8217;s senior technology class did a final test  run of their four mini-motorbikes and sidecar on Saturday in a final  fine-tuning their year&#8217;s work.</p>
<p>Tomorrow they head to Feilding to  put their creations to the test in the New Zealand Secondary Schools  Mini-Moto Grand Prix at Manfeild Raceway.</p>
<p>The six participating  students will join students from Wanganui High School in competing among  240 students from 18 schools from across the country in the event.</p>
<p>Their  rides, which they have had to build, design and put together themselves  from a $380 mini-motorcycle starter kit of wheels, an engine and  brakes, will have to pass a safety test before they are allowed to race  in the two-day event.</p>
<p>City College head of technology Chris  Donaldson said it was the second year the school had taken part in the  competition, which would give his students achievement standards in  design, following assessment at Manfeild.</p>
<p>Along with researching  designs and construction, students had learned how to fabricate  accurately, welding and machining, all good skills for them to have when  looking at going into trades, he said.</p>
<p>The mini-bikes would race  in five distinct classes with four rider weight categories: standard  bike with 50cc air-cooled engine, modified bike with 50cc air-cooled  engine, standard bike with 39cc water-cooled engine, modified 39cc  water-cooled engine and side-car with 110cc Loncin engine &#8211; open rider  weight.</p>
<p>Mr Donaldson said the mini-motorbikes were capable of about 60km/h and the sidecar about 100km/h.</p>
<p>Last  year student Daniel Saunders placed third with his mini-motorbike, and  had returned with the sidecar this year looking to better his placing.</p>
<p>The sidecar was slightly more challenging than the mini-motorcycle, because its starter kit came with just wheels and an engine.</p>
<p>&#8220;The kids are feeling confident, but I&#8217;ll reserve judgement.</p>
<p>I think the sidecar is quicker than what I saw last year,&#8221; Mr Donaldson said.</p>
<p>The event was sure to be exciting, with the kids able to see something that they had made work &#8211; or not work, Mr Donaldson said.</p>
<p>The Mini-Moto GP takes place at Manfeild Raceway in Feilding on Tuesday and Wednesday, from 9am to 4pm. Admission is free.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are taking a look at purchasing a <a title="SuperTuning" href="http://www.supertuning.be" target="_blank">pocket-bike </a>the first decision you would need to make is to decide between an electric pocket bike and a fuel powered pocket bike. Both electrical and gas pocket bikes have their very own pros and cons and in this article I’ll talk about every type of pocket bike.</p>
<p>The electric <a title="SuperTuning" href="http://www.supertuning.be" target="_blank">pocket-bike</a> is pollution free, is quiet when compared to the gas powered and has no vibration when riding it. If you are looking to purchase a pocked bike for your little one the electrical pocket bike model might be better because it doesn’t reach such high speeds as the fuel powered model and thus is a lot safer for your child.<br />
The electrical pocked bike can also be cheaper than the gasoline powered version</p>
<p>The downside of the electric pocket bike is that the battery can take as much as a day to charge but you may resolve this problem by buying an extra battery, and simply change it when the other battery runs out.</p>
<p>The fuel powered pocked bike clearly doesn’t need any re-charging. As it’s fuel powered motor a number of modifications may be done to it, and could be made lots quicker especially if it is used for racing</p>
<p>This modifications cannot be performed on the electric powered <a title="SuperTuning" href="http://www.supertuning.be" target="_blank">pocket-bike</a> and thus if you are a speed freak the gasoline powered model is the best choice of mini bike<br />
Your choice of pocket bike will thus be determined by what you are going to be utilizing it for. As explained earlier if the pocked bike is for your youngster the electrical powered model might be the best choice. If you’re going to be racing the pocked bike, or be utilizing it for fun, the fuel powered version would be the better choice because it may be modified a lot easier.</p>

<p>You have been not meant to operate the tiny slot bikes upon the streets as they have been usually meant for racing. So due to renouned demand, the bigger chronicle has come in to being for operate upon the roads as well.</p>
<p>These incomparable bikes have been mount in the distance of the accurate slot bikes. And can strech the speed of 65 miles per hour. However, vast they might be, they have been still not as big compared to mopeds though sleeker to demeanour at.</p>
<p>Points to recollect whilst regulating the slot bike</p>
<p>1. It is requisite to have the motorcycle permit to be means to float upon your bike upon the travel in the little states. Enquire in your states chartering bureau for the authorised age.</p>

<p>3.	Be certain to have correct lights as great as back perspective mirrors upon your slot bikes</p>
<p>4.	You have to follow all the reserve manners as great as be really discreet whilst roving upon these bigger slot bikes.</p>
<p>The manners change from state to state so what relates in the single state will be not germane in the other.
