Minibikes Invade Boston

22May04

I’ve seen humorous videos of the mini crotch rockets on motorcycle websites in the past couple of years.. and now they are selling them in parts stores and even truck stops. Insanity.

Looks like the peeps in Boston are none too pleased about them.

The sparkling chrome mufflers, sleek fiberglass bodies, and ventilated disc brakes are enough to please any motorcycle admirer. But the bikes that scream up and down Deborah Connally’s street each night are 2 feet high. And they’re driven by 13-year-olds.

Mini motorbikes, going by names like Ninja Super Racer and Mini Chopper, have become the rage among teenagers in Boston, and they’re driving adults like Connally nuts.

”They come at 2 and 3 in the morning,” said Connally, whose front window overlooks Columbia Road in Dorchester. ”God forgive me, but they’re going to kill themselves one day.”
