A GSX-R engine in a go-kart? Well sure, why not. I think the picture really says it all. Considering *most* go-karts at the local go-kart rental places have 50cc engines, and still go reasonably quick.. I can only imagine what the monster in this machine could do: 113.5 HP and just under 300lbs? Oh my. Check out the videos for the spectacular monster with little ability to keep traction.
Absolutetly how not to ride your bike in the city. This guy (or girl) is absolutetly mental. It’s a shame really, because all it’s really doing is glorifying how much of an idiot you can be and eventually someone gets hurt that wasn’t even involved at all. Our lesson today kids? Umm.. well just watch the video.
This video really shows you what it’s like to be slow in the AMA. Perhaps we’ve been spoiled with so many Rossi onboard videos that this just really has no way comparing. It does however provide excellent insight into the starting of a race, and what happens when you crash - and has a few close calls when it comes to other riders and this paticular rider (AMA David Glenn #272) choosing lines that are pretty conservative for such a competitive series. This is from the Superbike Series, California Speedway - Fontana, CA - 600 Supersport race.
While the first few minutes are rather boring and it’s near impossible to make anything out, it’s pretty cool to see the Italian press event just the same. A follow up to this post.
Movie trailer for Ghostrider. Looks like it should be entertaining at least.
In Columbia Pictures’ adventure thriller Ghost Rider, a superstar motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities – his immortal soul. Now Johnny Blaze is forever destined to ride night after night as the host to the powerful supernatural entity known as the Ghost Rider.
This is a trailer for a documentry movie coming out (hopefully soon) about the 2005 season of MotoGP narrated by Ewan McGregor of Long Way Round fame - among other things.
