I once had a dream/semi nightmare like this!

I remember I once had a (nightmarish)dream of being caught out on one of L.A.'s freeways on a tiny little bike that was keeping up with traffic. It was fun, yet scary at the same time. The nightmare part was that it was in the middle of the night, yet there was alot of traffic--I guess like I was too exposed to danger.

Then, while trying to find info on Skyteam street mini bikes, I come across this video! In L.A. (okay, Orange County, but it's pretty much all L.A.) traffic zooming in and out--exposed to danger; all on mini little bikes! 8O

I am pretty sure these are the Skyteam/SSR 125cc street mini monkey-style bikes custom-made into little cafe racers, but I think Skyteam makes them for everyone (i.e. I know they supply Pitster Pro)

8O Lane splitting even!! That scares the heck out of me... It's not legal here and if one was to try it, I'm pretty sure the aggressive cagers would squash you on purpose! Gotta say though, damn those little 125's sound good!

That was good fun! I could do without the soundtrack, so I can actually hear the bikes.

Yikes! 8O That video scared me! The rider up front looks like a "bear on a bycycle!" :P I think it's very wrong for a rider's knees to be higher than his hands!
