Summary
NoS Summary - Young boy rides on a miniature motorcycle with girl pillion passenger.
British Pathe synopsis: Tiny tot (about 4 years old) rides a motorcycle around a city square. Boy climbs off the motorbike and stands by the side of it. Boy draws up in front of a little girl. "Pa made it - and claims it’s the smallest in the world - and it will take a pillion rider, too!" Boy grabs the girl and kisses her. She wipes her mouth then gets on the back of the bike. She puts her arms around him. M/S of the two sitting on the bike. It has a name plate: "Mario" so perhaps this is Italy. Boy pushes off with his feet and they speed off around the square. "But it was too bad to try it out on a 12-stoner!" A man has a go and the children run around after him.
