Pit Bikin on the Apollo!

letsride · 03-12-2018, 06:07 PM

Just a few short quick vids of me playing on the Apollo. Ok so after watching these, I do look a little big on it. LOL but it doesn't feel cramped when riding it. It could be worse I reckon, it could be CRF50 sized.

Ok and a little more Wheelie practice may be in order, I almost ate it! LOL. And why YES, I do have a helmet! And YES I should have it on my noogin!

It sounds great...looks great, too! Yes, helmets are supposed to be worn at all times, but a calculated risk on closed private property is bound to happen from time to time...

Looks like fun! Your son will be riding that bike before you know it. Son of Weldangrind had a 125 with a 14/12 combo, but he quickly outgrew that. I then upgraded it to a 17/14 combo, which he promptly outgrew when he hit 6'2". He had tons of fun on that bike while he could fit on it. It was in excellent shape when we sold it and got $800.00 for it.

I just love that size of trail bike, though it does have a tendency to make one look like a clown on a tricycle. ;-)
Our little Hensim DB 150's weren't much bigger than that and we had a blast on them. Went tons of places. I just had to get off and stretch my legs once in a while.

Yeah Letsride jr. is growing like a weed. So he will be on the RFZ in no time. I really like riding the thing its so light and nimble. Apollo did a good job on this one I think. The little 70 is a hit with my 11 year old daughter too. She wants to ride her brothers bike and leave her Kymco quad under the shed. SO, we may have another 125 in the stable. These kids keep me busy. My son doesn't really want to park his, he has already asked me if I could put him a light on it so he could ride at night time. LOL

Couldn't resist, I usually economize on the band with usage on videos. Looks good. With sunny boy out there too!
