This is a video of a Suzuki Hyabusa motorcycle, one of the fastest production bikes out there. It does the quarter mile in the 8 second range when set up right.
What this video is, is a guy with a video camera strapped to the tank of his Hyabusa, and he straightens it out at 50 miles per hour, then nails it, the whole front end comes off the ground, he stays in it, the front of the bike is way off the ground all the way up to 140 mph, when it finally dips, but he still stays in it, all the way up to over 210. He buries the speedometer, and then squeezes every last drop of juice out of it while he watches the tach climb over 11,000. The guy is nuts, he belongs in your performance club. At 210 you will think it is completely there, then if you stare over the handlebars, and concentrate, glancing at the tach, you realize that he breaks through to a new level that emerges as he enters that last few ...cloud. It's really out there.
Check out the video, but turn up the speakers first, you have to hear this as well as see it. I bet you watch it more than one time, the rush is sorely missed by all of us adrenalin junkies out there. http://www.donzi.net/ubb/smile.gif

PS: It usually auto loads once you get there, but if not, hit your refresh button on the top nav bar, or hit the play button at the base of the video. If not then just reclick on the link.
