Performance mods to Walmart mini-bikes

[joequesmith]

I wasn't sure if you actually received it until now. Good to know it works. I tried your method as well and it seems to work. Thanks.

I think I had seen this old skool mini-bike in a biker magazine in the 70s with the caption, "Anyone wanna ride my mini-bike?"

So close, yet so far

Too late now,, and sometimes hard to do, but after clicking on a new thread and it's this odd or off base, just don't nobody respond nor click on the thread again, there's no reason to. Nobody will keep a thread alive by themself, nobody respond and they'll relatively quickly just go away. I haven't looked at any of the links, but the back and forth, though being useless, has almost got comical, but probably not comical enough to click on again..

The thread is nothing but links.
My bet is the real motive is to use the GSR to post clickbait links and hits for cash.

Agreed....waste of electrons....

It was inferred, similar to how you come to the conclusion I am a new guy.

Yes, you are a new guy. Joined May 2023. But please, tell me how you are not a "new guy." I'll wait....

Craziest idea ever. How would an obscure small forum produce enough to make it pay?

It wouldn't..LOL.
I guess if a person could go around and join hundred thousand forums and get seven or eight people from each one to click ?

Be even better if we'd all hit the subscribe button while we're at it.

I say that but ....i posted a video on my YouTube page of me asking a coworker who was going to retire in a month, some stupid questions about the job while he was kicked back in a excavator smoking a cigarette.

It was funny, my boss didnt think it was..lol but we did

I told co workers about it so they looked at it, then they must have told others.

The next morning i got up and the video had been viewed around 1500 times, a week later it had around ten thousand views.

I heard some static from my boss and the coworker in the videos i could tell was getting uncomfortable with the situation so I deleted it.

I had never posted a youtube video before or since.

but I learned something, if I'd been making equally ridiculous and simple video for the last ten years and the. Number of views rose that fast....and continued

I might be making money from it.LOL

You're assuming that was my first time joining this forum. I think it's my third time around.

You would have to be a complete moron to think a channel with over 7 million subs would care about the 20 hits from this forum. I suspect Earl and his posse of old timers just don't care for bikes anymore, if they ever did. The site for example has an active thread " Sunday night music...." which is over 60 pages of music video links, not a peep. A bit strange rejoining as the forum has really changed. Then again, so have I.

I only looked at one video and never looked at 7 million sub stats...thats a lot. And videos get a lot of hits...who ever that channel belongs to is doing very well.

And for you to benefit from coming here and promoting it doesnt make any sense.

So I believe your innocently sharing the content.

I might have missed something, but i still dont know what cause the ruckus , I didn't see where anybody raised to much about it.

But you should not get earl and the posse worked up , some other people have that job, and they've got seniority over you LOL

[joequesmith]

They are working themselves up. I'm just posting about bikes, something I still enjoy. I have suggested they contact the admins a few times if they have a problem with the content.

That last video has been up for 9 hours, has 633,000 views and 63,000 likes. Sure, the 20 hits from this forum will make a big difference.

By comparison, this channel has 12 subs. This video has been up 13 years, has 22 likes and 7,800 views. It's just a simple frame swap which required you know how to use a few tools. Personally, I would rather watch these guys get these low cost mini-bikes. I get others may have no interest but I don't understand their whining about it.

I'll check out the channel you posted about. Always looking for new channels to watch.

I am subscribed to about 50-55 youtube channels. Might be less I unsubsidized about eight the other night.

Lost interest I guess.

I am subscribed to a couple motorcycle related channels, mostly people who travel around the U.S all the time. they've been doing it for years now , and somehow keep it from being boring

Few mechanical fabrications project channels.

Few bushcraft camping channels
few music/guitar channels

[joequesmith]

I subscribe to about 15 channels. They range in topics. Youtube recommends content based on your searches which is how I came upon that Donut channel. Most of their content is car related, so I won't be subscribing but I did enjoy that segment on the mini-bike. Hopefully they will continue to try and reach their goal.

This one looks like a dragbike. 1/8th mile, 8.57 @ 74 MPH with a 2-stroke.
