There is a motorbike mechanic place off Bury New Road, opposite where Castle St joins on, under one of the arches.

There's no Moat House in Monton, you plum!

Do you mean the Monton House Hotel?

theres a motorbike shop on the same road as the Albion, near the bus station on the corner. They've got them ickle bikes in the window.

Not sure if they do repairs or not. Might be worth a try. Theres also 1 in walkden, on the A6 between the Stocks & Langford & Thomson's forecourt.

Hope you get it sorted [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<

 

toodle pip :D :D

Right 1st is fuel getting to the carb one problem with mini motos is that when the fuel tank is put on it traps the hose stopping the fuel getting to the carb. take the outer casing to the tank off and the try running it.

The fuel tap should should be pointing up and then make sure the choke is fully down...One last thing before you put petrol in did you check inside the tank. the 2 ive got i have found loads of plastic inside and had to get that out first or it will block the flow of fuel.

Hope this is of use

try the shop on halliwell road

see if they do repairs

yes dad itll be off road!!!

theres a racing track in radcliffe and they also have regular minimoto racing at the reebok. we have all the safetly equipment ie helmet'suit/shoulder/knee/elbow protection, the correct boots gloves etc.

we will get insurance when the bleedin bike actually works.

know where youre comin from mg, theyre noisy little things, and the way they zip round on em near our house drives me mad. suprised ive not been knocked down yet, cos they ride em on pavements etc.

is that a suitable answer?? or are you going to ground me pops??

Its a pity not all parents are like you, one of these kids on bikes will get seriously hurt and the parents will blame everyone bar ](*,)' themsleves.

Already happened, one lad on the Reebok car park, whizzing round on one of these mini-chav bikes, usually seen flying up and down Winchester Way, went straight into a chain at head height - stone dead.
