Don't Drink and Squat

According to an article theNewsPaper.com, a man in New Jersey received a DUI while riding a pocket bike.

From the article, "New Jersey Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela sentenced a man to six months in prison, $1000 fine and a 10-year license suspension for the crime of riding a 20 MPH pocket bike under the influence of alcohol. George Kaiser, 42, had purchased the $150, three-foot-long mini-motorcycle as a toy for his 13-year-old nephew."

Apparently these pocket bikes ride right around a foot above the ground and are not street legal in the US. I have only seen sales for these on Ebay from Canada. The ones I have seen do not ship to the US.

Not exactly tech news here, but I saw a guy riding one of these around by the Auditorium. It looked fun and he got alot of looks. Significantly loud and fast, guessing around 45mph. He did not appear intoxicated.
