Whoever invented those mini/pocket motor bikes should be shot!
:grr:

These things make a Leaf Blower sound like a gentle breeze in the wind. They are the dumbest things out there and a legal/health risk to boot.

I guess some kid in my neighborhood got a bike because he's been motoring around in the parking lot at top speed. Yesterday the noise went on for about an hour. Today I came home from work and there is this kid on a mini-bike riding at top speed AND WITHOUT A HELMET.

These are the dumbest things invented and serve absolutely no purpose. I know in the city of Wilmington they are banned from the streets. I finally called the Apt. Manager and asked her who would be legall responsible if this kid crashed into my (or someone elses) car? Where her office is she was away from the noise but she said she would put a ban to the on the property since the last thing they want is some legal mess from a kid gone wild on a damn pocket bike.

So who is with me? Let's find out who invented this things and put him/her in front of a Sandanista Firing Squad!!

1. AGREED!
These little shits in my neighborhood, ride them up and down the street, and you really can't see them because they are so small!

Just yesterday I saw one with three, count em' THREE, kids on the seat! Have parents lost their minds???

4. Check with local laws
They're getting banned everywhere on public property. If one those idiots hits your car you're basically fucked!

2. Pocket Rocks are funny (does that violate the sex thread rules?)

3. If they are loud and dangerous, they should do
well down here. We're not big on brains in this neck of the woods.

5. Hey, don't come crying to me when I hit your kid.
I have nearly killed two or three kids in the past couple of years riding those "atv's" on public roads. Now I have to worry about "Kenny" and his new micro bike.

7. You know what I think is really awful about these things?
They cost practically nothing. You can get one for around $200!!
