GRM would like to see your pit bikes. We're working on some editorial about the various methods people use to move their tools and bodies through the pits and paddock. Have a neat tool cart, pit bike or track-side support vehicle? Send some high-resolution photos plus details to David at david@grassrootsmotorsports.com.
Thanks.
Am I responsible for this?!

It did help re-ignite and old idea. If you have a high-resolution version of that shot, send it my way. And don't forget details--who you are, what we're looking at, etc.
There's an unbelievable amount of awesome in that pic.
Now this looks fun.
Just a few of my pit bikes:
1964 Yamaha YG-1T
1966 Honda CS65
1970 Suzuki AC50
1964 Yamaha YJ1
1964 Hodaka ACE 90
And a line up of part of the collection:
And the latest project, a 1965 Honda C110 destined for the salt flats...
Most of these bikes have proven useful at track days and national Solo events over the years. They also make quick trips to the grocery store more fun.

OK, here's our "Isle of Man" sidecar / pitbike (great for carrying tires, fuel tanks and one passenger). We just got back from the PVGP and it got more notice than my race-Sprite.
Saw this one last week at PVGP. It's at a lot of vintage events I run. Usually, the "deck" has tires, people, or fuel cans (for the owner's Cobra) on it.
To be honest, I think this is the simplest and most effective pit cart. Cheap too.
Saw this at BeaveRun last year:
Seen at Lime Rock a few years ago:
And this is Chris Shoemaker's Moke that he always brings to VRG vintage events. We were in at the PVGP last week. It's street legal and great for running out to the local store when away at a race. He has enough extra room in his car carrier for it. It's sort of a communal "pit cart". We used it for our Xmas card picture a few years ago.

it was shackled down with training wheels for a while.
and this is what happens when you don't have a trailer.

The engine in that bike is a Chinese clone of the Honda engine in my CT 70 Mini Trail.

Yes it does look like fun! But did anyone else notice there doesn't appear to be a rear sprocket on that bike?
