Who wants one of these in their body?

That's not wood they're screwin' into.

Take a swarm of those new mini-motorcycles (or as I like to call them….circus bikes) and combine that with a population of youth who are known for reckless jay-walking and general disregard for traffic safety and you get one potentially deadly summer. One of these little Ruff Ryderz almost ended up under the front of my car yesterday after trying to “pop-a-wheelie” in the middle of traffic. Now I know this kid and he barely has the coordination to make a lay-up without twisting his ankle. Who the hell made him think he could he could hop on a high-speed machine and start bustin’ out tricks? Are they selling matching do-rags and throwbacks with the promise of X-Games talent these days? I have a feeling that come September they’ll be quite a few more make-shift telephone pole memorials and the motto will be changed to “Ride AND Die”.
