Though I never got it out of the store, oh man did I look good. |
Glossy News ran a piece sometime back about pocket bikes, the motorized race bikes built with shortlings in mind. Not one to let current affairs slip by me, I checked them out and, oh Mama, I've discovered the root of all machismo tucked neatly into a $200 package.
These race-styled sport bikes come in gas or eco-friendly electric power. Better than that they are just my size weighing in at just a couple dozen pounds, despite their ridiculously mean exterior. Not only do they perform (at speeds up to 28 mph with a 250 pound passenger) but they look good, bad, and anything but ugly.
Put aside for a moment they're primarily steel construction and consider their attractive quality in terms of positively charged ladies of the fairer gender, this thing was a total chick magnet. If you've ever thought playing hard to get or toting a tippy cup onto the playground brought 'em running, you should check your cool when sporting a totage of a sporty pocket bike. Though yeah, ala Grease, it drives them wild.
As a means of transportation it's way faster than dad's perpetually dead car and far more exciting. The only real downside is the imminent danger, but danger is something I don't subscribe to so for me it's a moot point. In that regard I can find absolutely nothing in drawbacks and so long as the honeys keep on coming running, I see no reason to outgrow it.*
*Except that we don't own it and it's just on loan and just for the purpose of taking pictures... okay, yeah, broke like I said. Whatcha gonna do?
