Out of all the things you can get as a kid (at least for boys), there’s nothing that will make you happier than a go-kart. Well, an iPhone 6 is debatable, or maybe even a dog if you’re the type that doesn’t have too many human friends, but to a future petrolhead, a miniature vehicle that you can drive around is the best.
Oh, but kids aren’t really renowned for taking good care of the things around them, be they clothing, toys, limbs or anything else you might think they hold dear. Naturally, go-karts make no exception, which means that sooner rather than later, something’s going to go bad with it. Sometimes it’s something harmless, other times it’s serious enough that the damn vehicle won’t start.
And when that happens, you can be sure of two things: you’ll definitely have your best mate around so as to turn this into a real adventure, and second, it will be somewhere far away from home.
These two kids in the video below checked both these requirements, but they were lucky enough (so to speak) to come across a neighbor who was on his way to the store on a “bike.”
The man doesn’t think twice and offers to help the kids by towing them home behind his vehicle, probably offering them the ride of a lifetime. You can imagine there wasn’t a lack of “faster, faster” chants coming from behind, even though ten mph in that thing must feel like 150 in a normal car.
Was this safe? Hell no. After all, the man is riding his motorcycle with two kids manning a broken go-kart behind him. Those little guys could get sidetracked by any possible reason you can imagine and forget to brake when the bike does, crashing into the poor helping man’s red motorcycle - an event that would make the need for actual roadside assistance very real.
But at the same time, you can be sure there were no complaints from the kids. As for their parents...
