Too Fast for Me!

[sedelen]

I sometimes think of myself as a hot shot getting up to speeds in the low triple digits, but after looking at this, I might as well be a geek on a tricycle.
I can only imagine the thrill of being on one of these bikes going at the speed they're going, but a man's got to know his limitations, and quite frankly I'd be scared schitless.

We are all geeks on tricycles.

To prove the total awesomeness of this video/ event......

My girlfriend could take or leave motorcycles......I played this video for her and her eyes were glued the whole time. Every 30 seconds or so saying "omg"....or " holy crap" " that's awesome".
Lol.

That was a fun video! There were some comments about it below the vid, I cut and pasted my favourite.

"These guys are f*%king insane!!!!!!!! I don't know how they stay on their seats with their pumpkin sized balls in the way!!!!"

The setup for those bikes must be tricky, to balance travel vs dampening for what looks like really different road conditions over the course. Awesome display of what can be done on 2 wheels!

Very cool video. Those guys have nerves of fricken steel.

Also, I have just added a track day to my bucket list.

I've seen 160-180 in dad's vette. Not going to do it on a motorcycle. Could you imagine how far into someone's house that bike would go if they lost it at that speed?

The IOM TT is the greatest race ever! It is on my "bucket list"

Sumbitch that's fast.

[GSXR7ED]

Very awesome video...I'll never go that fast but I do appreciate those who can tolerate/manuever/apply all that it takes to breeze through the town at TT.

Ah, yes. I've seen this video many times. The intro shot gets me every time!

Here are a couple more great TT videos. Both are feature-length.

Reminds me of myself on the 550 on the way to work lol.. Just kidding. I have some serious respect for these guys to be flying through the country side that fast. Imagine a deer or something popping out on you?

Imagine a deer or something popping out on you?

A tree would be bad.

A tree would be bad.

i would be very surprised if a tree "popped" out in front of me......
