No car can compete with these, hang onto your hats!

I used to ride like a nutter in my younger years when I lived in Japan. I was in my 20's riding a four cylinder two stroke Suzuki RG Gamma (A road going version of Suzuki's Moto GP bike) nothing could kill me. I pushed to the point of regularly doing 2 wheel drifts exiting the corners on the mountains roads. But as I'm on the down hill side of my 50's now. My once balls of steel have shrunk to a shadow of their former glory and could now serve as an advert for California raisins :cry: . It's why I sold my bikes and bought the Zed.

On the bright side. At least I am sane enough to have realized my skills and reaction times had become such that they couldn't match/support my love of 2 wheeled 10/10th's riding.

Unbelievable, popping wheelies at 170 :o

I don't think it's even intentional - I think it's just the force of acceleration... That wheelie round the corner though, mental 8)

That's exactly right - they're on normal, wavy bumpy roads, travelling at 165mph+ and passing garden walls with 12 inches or less to spare. It must be a huuuuuuuuge rush though 8)

Take a look at the film "Closer to the Edge" preferably in 3D if possible, absolutely amazing skill/bravado/completely devoid of any fear those guys. And it starts again at the end of this month. Was over there about a month back and drove two laps of the full circuit, best maintained road i`ve driven on for ages, if you get the opportunity to go to the IOM do it, you wont regret it. :thumbsup:
