I'm not sure how many of you have watched Hildo race his old Harley chopper but this one is funny. Harley vs Honda CBR1000 This guy's a comedian.  Ian, note the kickstarter hanging in the breeze. Sure you'll like this one.

Torque and a rider that knows how to use it.
The path to defeat begins with underestimating your opponent.

True Ed, but I question the location of where these two riders who appear old enough and experienced enough to know better than to drag race on THAT particular road!
I mean REALLY?! On THAT narrow freakin' road AND with all those parked cars just a few feet away from these two???!!!
(...you'd think only inexperienced freakin' KIDS would be stupid enough to race THERE, wouldn't ya?!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I like the statement Hildo makes about not having any front brakes, then puts on his helmet and says..."Safety First"  No animals were injured making the video especially the Hog Rider

Apparently the owner of the CBR1100 thought that too.
