OK.....I have watched these videos through a time or two...and the music is well chosen.
I have learned:
Green is a popular color.......unless you are one of the inmates in the orange jump suits.
"Rubbin' is Racing" does not apply to these bikes. "Rubbin' is Fallin".
The track is "Slippery when Wet"...and sometimes slippery when it is dry.
When someone crashes into a sandbag and breaks it open....it would be a good idea for the inmates (Safety Personnel) to keep waving the yellow flag until the sand has been swept off the pavement....especially in the corners.
They only make the protective gear in one size, as everyone that rides these bikes is exactly the same height/weight as all the others.
Everyone is required to have IRC tires that are more than 6 years old.
Even the guy at he head of the pack with #1 on his number plate can crash for no apparent reason.
If you encounter a scary corner or situation......closing your eyes does not help.
When the bike begins to slide out and go "lowside".....go with it and accept it as a gentle way to crash. Not going with it can result in getting traction and a "highside" - which seems to result in a good amount of height and a bounce or two as you meet the pavement.
It appears these little bikes are harder to push start than a Savage with a Wiseco!
"Safety in Numbers" does not apply to this activity.
These little bikes can get really squirelly!
And finally.....sure would be cool if you could buy these bikes in the US. They would make great little urban cruisers.
