Getting back to karting

Not gonna lie that’s where I’m at these days.

I love anything mechanical. Just cause its cool. I only want to win in my business. That is what counts.

I will get his name. He races animas in pit bikes in Vegas. He knows the motors. He wins a lot. He is friends with the anima business in Orange County CA. My kart has done good at Adams. They hoped it would be accepted in the 125 class. They never succeeded. I bought the kart because I loved the build quality.

How cool are those instruments! Old school!

My fun kart. Built buy a racer for his kid. Bought it 17 years ago. My son terrorized the neighborhood in it. 11 horse Tecumseh. More of a cement mixer motor. My son did get two tickets in it. And they impounded it. I have kept it for shits and giggles. My son drove my 2006 Viper to high school. Then we bought Joel McHales sp? Easy Street Racing STI. Lots of fun!

Oh my. The Gilera…it’s a beauty! I sent you a link above, takes you to an Italian club still active in organizing races for these, they are probably your best bet for info around the package, should you need it. Engine is pretty rare, ended up pretty much like the Honda here, massive shortage of parts and blocks.

I’m an idiot and don’t see the link. I remember the Gilera was hard on parts in 2004. But the internet was less developed also. Yes the kart is cool. With the instruments and all it looks like a production build. I sure never saw another one when I used it. I’m sort of a hoarder. 7 hangers allows me to do a lot of stupid things. Storage wise ha ha.
