Minimotos can be safe and fun

This is a piece of video footage worth a view of how much fun a minimoto can be when used on a race track with the right equipment used. there has been too much bad press about these bikes and they are such a good tool  especially for the young riders wanting to get bike experience with out big bike dangers.
They are perfect for teaching corner grip, braking and learning racing lines, and also good fun for the older chaps who don’t want to high side at 70mph+.
All that is needed is more tracks to be available then kids might not be making a nuisance of them self’s because they would have somewhere to ride instead of car parks and the streets. It is a great shame that the endless talent that is trapped inside this country is left to there own devices and to be generally be labelled as thugs or hoodlems,when all that is needed is some understanding and direction and these kids could be assets and ambassadors for this country.
nuff said enjoy the video footage it is a short version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED1fjVSr3Qs
