Thanks,

It is fun! More fun than a barrel of 555 chips! It is more fun than I can adequately explain to anyone that has not done it. Like Guinness, it is an acquired taste. It is not terribly easy to learn and I think that keeps folks away, but once you get enough skills under your belt, all you think about is the next time you can go ride! I’ve been doing this since I was 16, that’s 37 years, and I’m still as giddy about it as I was then.

My son, below, is my best friend and a top 10 professional in Canada. Note his number. That was my idea. After all, timing is everything in this sport!

I wish I have space to enjoy life like tht :(

The fastest I can ever speed a two wheeler was 80Km/hr. Above tht the cyc seems to take off due to the road.

Fastest I got was in a SUV kinda truck that we use to inspect the airport runway. We would inspect run way twice a day. Only when planes are not landing for around half an hour. I floored the pedal from one end of the run to the other. Couldn't remember the speed now. Sad thing is it is the smallest run way that could land 747.

Hey!! just remembered abt something happened during that time.

We use to see 747 rarely land then. It was the first flight of the Alitalia, I do not remember it was a 747 or bigger.
It was ready for take off. Normally the flights use it's engine to taxi way for take off.
What happened was the plane was about to taxi way to run way. it turned and rev up the engine. Due to the taxi way being small, the plane was feets away from the terminal. As the engine turned up to get the plane moving, every and all the glass of the terminal shattered to pieces. Lucky the terminal is always empty during those times if a flight is abt to take off.

Not a single glass window was there :D.

So now they tow anything bigger than a 747.
