I picked up a Rally Bike game (working) this weekend for 125. The guy also threw in a Golden Tee coin box, a Golden Tee up grade board and a part for a bill changer. (the part you put the bill in) Was that a good deal?
Any way I have been playing it and have never got off the 1st stage because I run out of gas. I watched a youtube vid and it shows a gas station and a helicopter on the 1st stage. I see either of those. Can someone please help me?! I am starting to think there is something wrong with the board. Dip switchs?
Thanks for your help

I love Rally Bike! Awesome game.

Be sure to hold THROTTLE button AND press UP on joystick for maximum speed. You should be actively passing other bikes (and later, cars). If you are crashing into things, you need to, uh, NOT do that too much. And you'll get alerts when a gas station is coming up. They'll be a big box labeled "G.S." somewhere in the road. Drive into it and you'll stop for some gas, but get passed by 5 racers in the process, dropping your rank (which matters more and more in later stages).

Keep your eye casually watching the upper part of the screen and adjust your bike as needed. Get used to how "sharp" you can turn. There'll be narrow escapes that will get your blood moving, at times. By pulling back on the joystick, letting up on the throttle and even sometimes a quick press of the brakes, you'll avoid crashing, which is what it's all about.

I can make it to the next-to-last race, SFO, but getting to the finish line (and ranking better than 15) has mostly evaded me. You really gotta be in the zone for this one. My personal best is over 100,000 points (one coin).
