I cannot wait for my GT I need to experience a track!!!

Crazy riding on a Busa with Mitsubishi Super 20G turbo kit running 15psi; output 450hp on two wheels. Watch the speedo it is as fast as a tech! Notice from 50 to 140 his wheel is up in the air! Love it!!!

I have the same engine in a 900 pound two seat sand car, but with an intercooler and dry shot NOS. God I love speed.

Sorry. 'Too high a reading on the 'happy meter'. You'll hafta tone it down!:lol

CUTE kids, BTW! :thumbsup
 
Wow.

Happy,

Good God that is insane!!! I have ridden motorcycles since the age of 10 but have never mastered riding a high speed wheelie. The lessons looked like they might be too painful. I admire riding skill like that and I'll assume you were certain that road had no cross traffic. Be safe out there.

Hello Chip

LOL Let me clarify something I am stupid not an idiot! That’s not me a friend past the video to me. I am the fat guy with the kids. The video just made me shake my head and admire that kind of skill set!

Cool toy!


With those goggles you look like your Avatar:lol
 
HOLLY CRAP !!!

Wow, I guess the TX mile would be child's play for you. That bike would lay waste to all FGTs, except the most extreme, and then only at the very top end!
 
INSANE!!

That's why I don't have one HAHAHA

not enough self control... crazy skills for sure!!!
 
Have been riding motorcycles all my life. Met my wife on a crotch rocket. Have also ridden a mile long wheelie at about 120 mph with wifey on the back. Used to drag race busa's. Those days are over though as I have seen too many people die on sportbikes.
Still ride bikes, but have toned it down to harleys and dirt bikes.
 
Speaking of riding I still do track days and 6 weeks ago I had an incident at Texas World Speedway where I cartwheeled over the bars (tucked the front end) at approx 110 mph and broke two ribs and bruised my spine, tailbone and hip and knocked me unconscious - hell of a ride !! I know at 51 years old we sure heal much slower !!

...which means we pbly oughta GO a little slower too mebbe, huh?! :biggrin

You were darn lucky. I rec'd far more damage just FALLING two stories...
 
That's insane... at the end when he's doing 100 mph it appears he's going 10 mph... LOL - WOW!?!

That is the absolute truth!:frown
 
Hey EP I think I would rather fall off motorcycle while moving forward with helmet, leathers, body armor etc.... at 100 mph + than fall down two stories !
The sudden stop can kill ya know !! LOL
 
here are a few pix of my old Sand Bullet sandrail :cool it weighed 800 lbs and my Hayabusa motor dyno'd 150 rwhp and 92 rwtq on a chassis dyno. i hit 100 mph on GPS down by the beach in Mexico and i jumped it 45 feet in Glamis at the sand dunes :cheers

I would tone it down with the FGT. Many find the car is beyond their capabilities. You don't want that beautiful FGT to end up a salvage statistic.

Just a thought.

Oh, ya. Trust me, I do know. 'Doc said I should have BEEN dead. (True.)

But, as regards all that safety gear and your preferences...Dale Ernhart was protected by a lot more than that when he simply bumped into a wall (really when you compare his wall contact with SOME we've seen - that's really all it was)...and look what happened to him.

If a bike rider goes straight into a wall at 100mph - he very likely won't ever get up. :wink :cheers
