Yep... I was doing the same thing too and owning a bicycle with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed gear shift was like the top of the line mod you could have on.

 

How times have changed.

exactly. Over there is different. I've seen 13 year olds doing motocross stunts

 

and speaking of scramblers, kids staying in the countryside ride their 80cc scramblers through the forest and reach school. Where's the TP? At the road side outside the pub

[s4dreamer]

That's a no-mean feat!

 

This gal is really somethin'! Since the govt is always talking about grooming talents, how about they try their hands at grooming young talents in motor sports arena? (Of course, i'm putting aside the issue of licenses.... at least for the time being...)

 

I think the teenage years are the best years to discover and develop athletic inclinations!

[blueskimo]

damn...13yrs old...i was still playing digimon man...wasnt even thinking of riding or getting a bike in the future...

[krazyfist]

she noes what she's good in since young..

till now quite a number of us not sure wat we good in...

[Aie]

Minimum age for bikers in Singapore to get a Class 2B licence is 18 years old. Unless that ruling is changed, we can wait long long for our 13 year olds to start riding sportsbikes, what more, racing...

[wait4me]

maybe we are in the wrong country

[archenemy]

look at the number of championships that they take part in..

 

and our own aspiring racers can only go to Pasir Gudang & play for leisure...

The truth is... there is no age limit on how young you can ride a bike on the track or let alone what cc of bike you ride on it.

 

Just need to sign the non-indemnity form only to waiver the track from all responsibilities should anything happen.

 

Here in the USA, kids under the age of 18 just need the parents/guardian to sign the consent form. In Singapore, they sign for us when we go for school excursions only.

 

She must have started off like this.......

I don't think he meant it that way.... I read it as, we just don't have the opportunity of taking part in so many organised races nor the kind of support from sponsors to pursue this sport.

 

Look at her sponsorships... I think even if there was a potential champion among those going to PG or Sepang, do you guys really believe some company will sponsor them???

[Rei.G]

wah..power.

 

i could only remember playing need for speed 2 at tat time.

[Guest doremo]
