...knows where it will all end. In Southern California, four-year-old Derek Bland gives expert demonstrations on his 50-cc. Honda. Wearing his silver crash helmet and silver boots, he takes off down his driveway at 12 m.p.h., leans, sticks out a foot expertly to whip his bike around and roars back to his starting point.
