kids 50cc bike image
bmxican
I have this 85 yamaha that I got about 5 years ago when I was a kid and was wondering if I could use it as a pit bike. It is like a 2005 and it is pretty small. (smaller than my friends 65 ktm) I notice a few obvious differences between my bike and the pit bikes I see. I was wondering if I could get some new parts or something and make it into a pit bike. I don't know if this helps but Im about 5'4 110 pounds.
Answer
Pit bikes in general are 50cc bikes modified for full size riders.
85cc bikes are race bikes and technically not a pit bike but you could ride it around the pits and call it what ever the hell u want. new parts and modification of the 85 will just make it hard to ride around the pits. throw some graphics on it and have some fun with it.
i don't really know how you plan to use it, if u want to use it as a bike you ride around the pits on race day then i would say ur better off selling the bike and getting a 50 and building your own pit bike. this is due to the fact that 85s have power bands and that isn't much fun when ur running between RVs. if u plan to just ride the bike around your house the 85 is a fun ride and you can call it a pit bike till your hearts content.

I am coaching a team for kids from 10-15 years old and want to give out awards at the end of the season...like MVP. What are some other awards I could give out?
I do plan to have an award for every racer
Answer
Get in touch with the local importers who deal with bike stuff. Where I one such is called monza imports and ask for some freebies. Also local bike shops and get stickers and odds and ends that don't cost much and do up some grab bags so all the kids can have one.
Don't just give out 'most improved' and such as while it is great to be achieving I find sometimes this only focusses on one or two riders and they get the pats on the back the whole way through. Did anyone have a big off in training as you could give out a 'bent handlebars award' One of the clubs I am involved with actually has this and it really is a set of bent handlebars. So make a few fun awards like this as well.
A lot of coaches I know get the kids to balance on their bikes and try to have a slow race. Those with good balance can stay upright with the bike basically not moving for ages. See who is best at this and give them an award. So you could make the end of year a fun things as well. Have a race where they have to start by putting their boots on before running to their bike and doing a lap. Again you can award a prize for it. You can do a tag team race where you put the riders in groups spreading the ability out and making sure each group has a 50cc bike to slow them down. See who gets over the finish line first with each member of the group doing a lap.
This way the day is fun and the kids go home, some with real achievement awards and others with just a fun award.
