    Before you look at the picture

    Before you look at the picture, imagine the scene.

    I'm a passenger in Nismo Pete's S4, and we are doing a very quick lap of the ring, Pete's a very quick and competent track driver.

    At approx 100 we move over to let a GT3 past who is travelling at a hell of a rate, only to realise that as he is overtaking us he is being overtaken by a bike going yet even faster, and he's doing at least 120 pulling a wheelie past the GT3...lunacy...

    He held the bike at 45 degrees up for the entire overtake!

    Seen that several times on the road, maybe not quite 120 but not far off it
    I was on my way back from the supermarket last year when i saw a nutter doing at least 70mph on one wheel .... up a busy street in a 30mph limit

    Must be the chemicals in the leather cleaners you guys use that make you go loopy

    I know its wrong but whenever I see a loon hooning up the road on one wheel it makes me smile.

    Some guys on bikes are mad, I go out for runs sometimes with a guy that spends most of the time on the straights on the back wheel. Crazy barsteward, I'm happy pottering about doing 30 - 40mph

    Yep, if only I was a passenger and not the driver when that 911 a few laps previous overtook so fast, he jumped that high on a corner I could see the road ahead...by looking underneath his wheels...

    and then he landed inch perfect on the tarmac lined up for the next corner!!
