My goodness...those rear tires are freaken wide, and that dude was going hella fast....sweet. I love vids like those that have no music but just the engine sound and great camera positioning.

wow, that would be awesome. I would have a hard time doing that with the chance of going over the edge.

^^^^
I drive the Pikes Peak Highway at least once every 1-2 years as my folks live nearby and the view can't be rivaled. No guardrails + steep drops=fear. I couldn't drive that fast on that road.

My RL made it to the top quite easily, though.

Still miss my Sleeping Beauty....

It would be really ballsy, but I'd love to take the V up someday.
