Cars are for wimps

After seeing that Supercar Challenge footage in the other thread, thought you might like to see what real men do on the race track.

MotoGP footage (and #4 just for fun)

They are using only two wheels, sometimes only one.
Give em two more wheels and things change.
Mike the Bike did good, who else?

Cool! I've had 3 motorcycles and still got the bruises to prove it -- not to mention my still-damaged arm when something with 4-wheels turned left in front of me and I went flying over their hood -- or my scraped hiney when it fell over at 45 mph because I stopped too fast -- or my scraped face when I raced a friend on an oval dirt track and for a laugh went diagonally across the track, but hit a dirt curb/ledge and went airborn at 30 mph -- and then there was all those times I got wheelies and walked the bike, but sometimes gave it too much gas and fell off -- plus when I (attempted) to climb some almost straight up hills on the trails...... I could go on, but that was 30 years ago when I was a teenager. Now, I like the safety of a metal body -- but I do miss the excitement. The MINI gives much of that back!
