PMSL @ ajm

seems like the best option up to now

either that, or just throw something at him

he seems to have stopped now, guess he has run out of petrol

Not sure what it is with the kids round here now, 3 of them all rode up and down the street today on proper motocross bikes, then preceeded to race around the warehouse unit over the road

Apparently they are legal as well. There's twonk round my way who does this. I think I'll just run out in front of him and knock him off.

UB they cannot be legal, not on a public road, as they have no tax, insurance, licence, or MOT

I believe all (maybe not license) are required for a petrol driven bike

Anyway if there legal, so is throwing a brick at him

Since he is only 2 foot off the ground you could knock him off with one of those Bruce Lee spinning kicks without having to give yourself groin strain!

A loophole apparently. Don't have sources to hand, but I read it in the Telegraph somewhere.

lol, i put some in my midi moto too !!! - double sad.

UB, they are illegal mate.
I ride mine down to the paper shop on sundays (about 1/3 mile), but if there are any cars about, i pull over and stop.

There was an amendment to our local rag, which indicated that a 'yoof' was caught on one of them petrol scooter things (go-ped) i think its called, and was being done for no insurance, tax etc... (i see if i can find the article again)

There are times and places to ride these things sensibly, maybe they should have special legislation drawn up as these things are gonna get really popular by next summer (the rate they are being imported!!!)

my little boy - the next eddie kidd

Confession:

When I bought a new lawnmower last year it arrived with the box on its side and the oil had drained out the exhaust. The only stuff I had to top it up with was Mobil One!

It gets run on Optimax too, because I have a stash of it in my garage in case of fuel protests!

Be able to tell you soon....i stuck a 15 year old on for no tax/insurance/licence and helmet the other day.
It's like the test case from the scooter a few years back...if it has the docs, and lights etc, then it's legal.
But at £300, what a waste of money!!

Good man. Wish I could have seen his face. It must have been a picture.

they are NOT ROAD legal (100% certain) min moto's,go-ped's whatever if it's got petrol driven engine it's classed as a motor vehicle,heard of someone got banned for drink driving bought a go-ped to get around on got stopped on it and then got another ban for driving while disqualified and done for no tax,ins,mot on the go-ped,all these big boy's toy are sold for OFF-ROAD use only,all bizzie's probaly know this but it's easier catching normal people in the street for dodgy parking easy £30 instead of getting these little fokker's who ride all over,but i did the same when i was younger on my crosser now i'm like a grumpy old man,
