I missed riding my pocket bike, if you are a motorcycle enthusiast i really recommend to get a pocket bike also called
mini moto in some other countries. Basically it has 25-50cc engines, air cooled or watercooled depending on the model.

Mine is a 45cc liquid cooled polini GP3 replica pocket bike which i bought from motorcycle planet.
its has steerting damper used for racing, that prevents wiggle during highspeed. It has no suspension which you can
really feel the road! This bike is so fast that i am afraid of doing the full throttle.
I really need to master riding this pocketbike!

in the meantime enjoy watching our little pocketGP with friends
