Absolutely insane, just saw these things on TV last night. I can't imagine the feeling that they give you when your going.
some crazy facts:

1000 Horsepower (approximately 25% more
than a Formula One Car)
▪ 0 - 60 mph in 0.7 seconds
▪ 0 - 100 mph in 1.1 seconds
▪ 0 - 230 mph in under 6.5 seconds

They are the fastest accelerating machines on two wheels on the planet and will out accelerate all vehicles from a standing start (except for Top Fuel Cars) including Formula One Cars and even Thrust SSC and F14 Jet Fighters.

The machines pull over 3g of acceleration
(more than an astronaut experiences at take off)

That would be one awesome ride..... I wonder if the seat on those bikes are hollowed out to make make room for the huge hangy down things those guys must have?......

 

Hard to believe a person can even hang on to a machine like that. Was that the Jesse James is a dead man show?

 

ya thats where I first saw it, and was like daaamn so I had to look em up and learn more

 

I used to go to a bunch of the AMA drag races.. you are talking about crazy... I got a few chances to sit down with Larry "Spiderman" McBride. He admits that you have to be crazy to jump on a top fuel. I was at the end of the track on one of his runs and the first thing he did was reach for a cigarette when he got his helmet off. His hands were shaking like none other... Pretty sweet bikes.

 

That's one Caotic Ride no doubt! Can you imagine...it's ALL or nothing with the throttle. I think if I was to try that, the only good thing that could happen was when I went,...the tears in my eyes from me balling at the line would have streamed to the back of my helmet thanks to the G's and I would be able to see the wall B4 I hit it! But I wonder if they put a throttle stop on the bike JJ was running cause he only hit what...157MPH I think? Or he could have pooped a little and shut it down early. He had a good run going, the front was up and everything. Getta give him some credit for even trying it though.
