I just got a new MSF approved training video!

It's called Mach 2. I have some questions though. How do you keep the heels of your boots from scuffing the paint in the ram-air inlets by the front turn signals when you are warming up the rear tire? And wouldn't it be safer to have both hands on the bars when you do it? Do I need to warm the tire until smoke comes out from under the gas tank if I'm just going out for a coffee? Isn't it harder on the front fork seals to do wheelies while sitting on the windscreen?

To be serious for a minute, It seems wrong that you can pay $20 to see in excess of 200mph on the speedo of a Hayabusa. It should cost ten grand, and you should have to put your life on the line like I did for the experience. Makes me wonder how many Walter Mittys we have here that have just watched the video. If you are one of those, I must tell you that watching and doing are two completele different things.

Kirk - true, watching from vid/cam ona bike as it goes 200 mph is a lot different I'm sure. I haven't had the pleasure of first hand knowledge, but 175 (i) has been good so far. But I'll get there eventually, and without harm (fingers crossed).

Now back to the that training video. I have it also. The art of leaving your mark on a petro station, is the purpose to smoke the station or scar the runway (so to speak). If it's to scar the runway, what it is a black to??

JokerJ- if you think that is fun, you should try the next two gears. Before I use 5th, I make sure to pay back anyone that I owe money to and let everyone know what my blood type and medical carrier are. Before I use 6th, I let them know that I am not an organ donor, so they will just have to save me, and if I make any mistakes to tell my wife that I loved her.
