Great video of the 2008 BSSO race, but I wanted to see if the POV guy caught up with the guy in front of him! He did some awsome outside passes and you could tell he had a fast scoot. Wish we had more scooter racing here in the U.S.

Thats an awesome video, fun to see scooter racing.

I've often thought that would be a fun thing to try, we've got a local track that does motorcycle racing often(Portland International Raceway) and scooter racing would be fun there as well :)

the reason the crop is odd is because the camera was mounted on it's side. the video had to be re-oriented 90 degrees, so that we could view it.

I learn that the hard way.... I ruined a nice little video I took a few years back...

Here's a cool Youtube video of a four-wheel ATV using Vee-Rubber tires tearing up some unpaved backroads.

There is a fair amount of teching that needs to be done before they'll let you on a track. Basically, anything that hangs off of the bike needs to be removed. That would include mirrors, kick starter, side stand, center stand, most likely rear rack if yo have a metal one, plus I think you have to have those fold away brake levers. Sure does look like a blast though.

That doesn't really surprise me. I had to do a ton of work to my 70 Plymouth to make it track ready.
