And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
these people are crazy. i can watch it just for a little while. what's really wild is when they crash. they slide for awhile and then get back on and go again.
The REALLY crazy riders are at the Isle of Mann TT's. No safe slide runouts there. Lose it at around 200 MPH and you get stopped by a pub that's been there since King Arthur's times or Hadrian's wall.
Raced road bikes for 36 years now, raced other vehicles, but road racing is best, particularly when you know the guys in your specific class, we all know eachothers style and learn to trust one another, its still super competitive, but for that few seconds, or one or two particular laps, or a really great draft move, stuffing your way in thru and out a corner getting a great drive on everyone in the pack, nothing else in life comes close excitement wise.
No chicken strips on those tires.

ReplyDeleteI've had my elbow down a few times but not while actually riding the bike.
