Performance mods to Walmart mini-bikes

[joequesmith]

Youtube recommend this video today where they are attempting to go 100MPH with a Walmart mini-bike. Reminds me of working on my GS but scaled down. This is only part 1 and they are planning on a 3 part series. Looking at their channel, they had another video attempting to use nitrous to improve a similar mini-bike.

We’re attempting to set a world record for the fastest Walmart motorcycle on earth

What happens when you install a nitrous kit on a motorcycle from Walmart?

Another where they mount a turbo charger (draw thru) on their Walmart mini-bike.

I didn't realize the mini-bikes were so popular. Cost being the big factor. Video talks about $3,000-$10,000 range.

This is an ad free site. That means advertising is NOT allowed. It is also not a dump site for trolls.

So you feel that advertising various brands of toilet paper is fine for a motorcycle forum but opening a discussion about modifying mini-bikes for higher performance is trolling?

While looking for other radical mini-bikes, came across a KTM dirt bike with a turbo taking on a GSXR1000.

You have to realize that the GS community has a large contingent of angry old men that are resentful of the fact that we're still out there riding and they probably never will again. It is true that they're quite valuable members of the community with a vast amount of knowledge to pass along, some are much better at the latter while many tend to the former.

Now that I can read the forum's FAQ, there is a section that talks about behavior. I would expect the old timers would certainly follow the basic rules and in this particular case, Earlfor would have pointed out the problem to the admins to correct. Odd as I remember them when their icon was still the 4 or 5 GSDs they had at the time and I don't recall them going off on members. Maybe just having a bad day.

What are the rules concerning behavior in the forums?
The forums are run under the general rule that everyone be civil to one another - under all circumstances. No name calling, baiting or trolling. Just because someone says something in a post that angers you does not give you the right to "go off" on that person. To do so may get yourself banned from the forums permanently. The forums are watched by moderators to guard against such behavior.

I did not "go off" .. I simply reminded you of something you apparently missed.

[joequesmith]

Calling members trolls which is against the rules is certainly not inline with the forum rules. Being a long standing member, I would have expected you to be aware of this. As for any rules you feel I have broken, you would need to bring that up with the admins as I don't see where I have done anything wrong.

He did not call you a troll, new guy...

He said this is not a dump site for trolls. And it isn't.

[joequesmith]

It was inferred, similar to how you come to the conclusion I am a new guy. Again, if you or others feel I am doing something wrong by posting about mini-bike mods, I suggest reporting it to the admins.

I enjoyed watching them gain more speed....on one hand, it was all of 7MPH.....but......that was a thirty-three per cent increase....



That said, overreaction is .....overreaction.
Please calm down and, perhaps, learn a tiny lesson in communication

Imply or infer?





Grammar > Easily confused words > Imply or infer?
from English Grammar Today

We imply something by what we say. We infer something from what somebody else says. The main difference between these two words is that a speaker can imply, but a listener can only infer.
When someone implies something, they put the suggestion into the message:

Are you implying that the team cheated?

When someone infers something, they take the suggestion out of the message. In order to underline this difference, infer is used with the preposition from:

Then I think we must infer from what they said that they believe we should reapply for the job.

Typical error

• We don’t use infer to refer to what someone has said:

Are you implying that I cheated?

Not: Are you inferring that I cheated?

Warning, if you would like to spend your time correcting my grammar, you will have your work cut out for you. Good to see all the old timers jump in.

Day 2, tires, methanol and body work. They talk about a 3/4 mile run with a push start.

Now here is a 100MPH+ mini-bike equipped with a 1394cc Kawasaki engine. Leave it to the top fuel teams to come up with this one.
