i love go-karting.. Very Happy

even tho' i once broke a rib driving a kart Laughing

nOrmalbOi SG

u seem to break a part of ur body doing things that u like...

Laughing

nOrmalbOi SG

no worries... i understand de... that u were ultimately born in singapore..

=X

Laughing

the Bear SG

well, i'm accident-prone Laughing

and, there were a bunch of morons who thought go-karts were bumper cars and i got T-boned after putting the damned kart into a slide in order to miss hitting a pile-up after a blind corner...

the idiot came at me at full speed and T-boned me, and my rib was broken by the seat Razz

nOrmalbOi SG

now that ur recovered... going again? lol ..

where did u play the last time?

littlestream SG

Laughing

But of course...........hee hee Embarassed

the Bear SG

last time i did something like that was more than a decade ago Razz

frankly, i wonder if my back can handle the pounding.. karts have no suspension at all..

nOrmalbOi SG

leisurely drive? bring ur own erm... cushion? seriously..

the Bear SG

ever see anyone drive leisurely on a go-kart? Laughing

the main idea is to drive like a lunatic

nOrmalbOi SG

never done a kart b4 so ... no idea how it goes.. haha

drive like a lunatic... i like how that sounds..

Laughing

the Bear SG

it's easy...

no gears.. left foot brake.. right foot accelerator.. centrifugal clutch...

karts drift a lot too if you know what to do Wink

driving like a maniac is fun Twisted Evil

however, you can still get hurt because good karts reach up to about 65 to 70km/h

nOrmalbOi SG

how does a centrifugal clutch work....?

drifting a kart... i rather get used to it b4 trying any stunts.. lol

i tot proper karts.. can reach 100kmh or so.. those race ready ones anyway... us mere mortals make do with 70kmh

Very Happy

the Bear SG

well, it's probably a little 50cc lawnmower engine Laughing

and a centrifugal clutch works like this: the higher the RPMs, the tighter the clutch grips... so step on the accelerator, the clutch bites.. that's all you need to know Wink

sorta like automatic transmission...

nOrmalbOi SG

i like it oredi..

Laughing

the Bear SG

yeah.. it may turn out to be an expensive addiction Razz

nOrmalbOi SG

addictions r almost always expensive...

sides.. to get a fix i would need the passport... too much hassle.. which would control it somewhat

Laughing
