Here's one for you guys. I know the quality is terrible, but it's me riding. The world record I set still stands.

The next morning we set the record, overnight we added 50 more hp (more nitrous) and solved the sync loss issue (the almost imperceptible misfire).
A 400 lb bike with 380 hp at the rear wheel is addictive to ride, nothing pulls like a land speed bike.
How about some crazy hill climbers on bikes?

Or on four wheels?

Dune buggies, SoCal style.

Very cool, exciting, and, you know,... not necessarily sane stuff. Thanks.
It's been a while, but I used to like to take mine around corners. I'm 36.

It is very very difficult to do well, hence the challenge that keeps me coming back.

Yes, there is a world championship in RC racing. In places where it is cold in the winter, or a full size racetrack is too expensive for the average guy to access (think Singapore, or Japan for example) RC racing is big business. Who knew?
And now for something completely insane, the Isle Of Man TT races.
This is long running race, held for close to 100 years now.
I was asked to ride this event back in the early eighties, my sponsor hired a British team that had an injured rider, so off I went. I practiced (learned) the course on a street bike, it was crazy dangerous, and the team was sub par (no wonder their rider was hurt, the bike was crap and they resisted setup changes) At the time I was a top tier rider, any changes I desire happen instantly, without argument, these clowns didn't get it.
I called my team manager and told him what as going on, I was the points leader for a national championship back home and the team manager said "screw that, jump on a plane, I don't want you hurt" so I didn't race.
The course is 37-3/4 miles around, damp in many places under the trees and much of it is 200+ mph.
