Actually my sis is on the Wii and won't let me on.
She's playing one of her stupid little pets games. Sorry.

Bah. Pets games that ruin the minds of today's children.
It was cool playing with TheSaint though. He only bet me 1 time out of 8.

So what your favorite character/bike combo? I use Mii/Mach Bike mostly.

I find that daisy on the mach bike is the best combo, baby daisy on the bullet bike is good too. The flame runner isn't that good online because of the horrible acceleration and you get hit a lot online.

But the Funky Kong + Flame Runner combo has the fastest startup boost.

When in doubt, there's Google.

Again, if you practice using it, you're not at an disadvantage. There is a special way to get back to full speed if you got hit, without accelerating. Press and hold b, than a (all quickly), and hold those buttons, and you will start to see blue sparks. Once you see the blue, let go, and you get an immediate boost. This way there isn't as much of a drawback.

Yoshi + Turbo Blooper or Bowser/Funky Kong + Dragonetti.

Yeah, but the blue sparks still take a while to come out.

Why would you use those?
Karts are dead in MKWII, look at all the world record trials, they all use bikes. Bikes have inside drift which help their turning massively. Here is what bikes I think you should use
bullet bike: Good balance of acceleration, speed, and turning. The downside to this is that it doesn't have the best top speed.
Mach bike: The most well rounded bike, it has better top speed than the bullet bike but worse acceleration, and turning.
Flame runner: Its made for speed, it has better top speed than the Mach Bike but worse turning, and acceleration.
Torpedo: Good for speed and nothing else, gets wrecked in stages with a lot of turns. Used mostly for time trials.
Also, the character you pick does matter because they add stats. Baby Daisy, Daisy, and Funky Kong are normally used because they add to top speed.

Maybe RHY doesn't care as much about winning as about just having fun and picking something different. The amount of people that use these top 3 bikes online (myself often included, I will say) is probably equal to or even more than the amount of people that use MetaKnight on Brawl Wi-Fi. Now I agree with you that those bikes are the best, but there's no need to be critical over what kart/bike someone uses.

Bikes are rubbish. It's called Mario Kart - not Mario Bike. Play to have fun - not to win by abusing wheelie. I can't drift with those, anyways.

Anyone want to play?

I do.

Drat - have to go soon.

Oh, OK.
I'll be here all day probably; don't much else to do with all the snow.

I am guessing that your real problem is that you can't drift with them and not that you think they are cheap or boring. If you want, you can go on automatic and then you don't need to drift. But karts in this game are pretty rubbish.
