Awsome pics, sounds like you had a great time, congrats. I wish I was small enough to and had a place to ride 50 since it's good practice.

you cant possbily be too big, really...I have friends that are HUGE and they can get on the lil boogers with no problem, they look a lil funny, and they cant go as fast as someone my size but still...its wildly entertaining...

especially when famous last words before getting on are "here, hold my beer"...ah the memories...

he is but I dont think he's as tall as you, but i had a buddy, 6' and well over 235 lbs that could still get around on a 50cc pocket bike...he was over the limit for specs, but he could still move!

it was modded a lot, i changed some stuff but it kept the same dimensions. I had to change front ends because I wanted disc brakes instead of drum. I regeared it for tight parking lot racing, did some cosmetic stuff too.
