awesome.

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.

Cool!

love driver pov videos that was awesome

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

Ohh, gocart tracks would probably work too if you used the bigger ones.

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.
