Agree 100% about the skill and b4lls stuff , right stuff wrong place .

Can't help thinking what would happen if my wife and kids were coming around the corner for a head-on though

Well all in perspective men.........it's just plain crazy on a public road.

IOM (Isle of Man TT) was about as close as one could get to replicating this stuff.

Only they were much better............and yer maun Joey Dunlop the king
was my hero at it.......saw him in person back in the day and that's what made it
for me.

Street BS forget it........selfish and stoopid ........might as well pull out a loaded
firearm and shoot the unsuspecting motorist unlucky enough to be in your way.

On a designated track........you sign up..........you go for it ...........

& That is in my opinion hows it works !

No doubting the skill involved..not to mention nuts way bigger than I'm carrying . Never had a bike that went that fast anyway. 155mph up the M4 in the wee hours was quite fast enough for me, and that was in a straight line! Used to do some crazy **** that makes me cringe when I think about it now. I think having a family really changes your perspective for the better. Not only does it cross your mind that they need you to stay alive, but you realise those could be others' loved ones whose lives you're risking.

I'd be surprised if that guy is around long enough to have kids..

I still love going fast, just not when other people are around blind corners like our mad friend there.

Well can't help but get the feeling these 3 knew these roads real good from the
lines they were setting up going through those suicide runs ! have to say it's
a safe bet they'd done it plenty of times before.
