those guys got balls!
running 100mph+ with those skinny tires - I cant imagine there's much traction at all.

Thanks for posting. That has have to be by far the best thing I have seen in a very long time.

don't forget, no brakes, and full throttle all the time.

Then again, they probably didn't have room for brakes on those bikes, what with the huge balls the riders were carrying.
