That's absolutely hilarious! Could be dangerous, though. If I were rounding a curve in the opposite direction and saw those leather clad, pocket bikers leaning through the curve in the other direction, I just might fall of my bike from laughing so hard.

I particularly like the guy that was pushing along the pavement with his hand to help the little bike accellerate.

Hehe, that's great!

Man, I lived in Knoxville for...14 years and I never knew about that road! I'll have to go back and visit the folks and check it out.

Brilliant Zoo, that's the best entertainment I have had all week, loved the crash when the guy picks up the bike and gets back on, that is soooo funny. Notice to newbies, no matter what bike you ride, you need full protection. :horse:

Wish he'd popped a wheelie on that thing. Guess it's not zippy enough though :P

If he had one of these, he could have popped a wheelie.

110cc 4 speed with clutch. They are a little larger than the 49cc pocket bikes and will get up to ~65MPH.

Neat movie clip. Looks like a load of fun.

Sapaul is right...full protection is needed.

Riding into ditches looks way more fun than popping wheelies.

Better than a blind left-hander!

Seems to me the guy ran out of lean angle and slid right out of his line and off the road. Hilarious!
