    Quarantine induced boredom reducing videos

    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?

    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.

    This is another hobby I have, RC racing. I race every Wednesday night at my local track, SDRC.
    The first vid is an outdoor race

    The second is indoor on prepared clay, this is the type of track I compete on...

    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?

    Re: Quarantine induced boredom reducing videos

    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.
