I live in Charlotte, and since I've lived in the Carolinas pretty much all my life, and I've yet to drive the dragon. Hopefully I can get to it by the end of the summer.

Cool vids though. Looks a little dangerous on those pocket bikes

Lol.......those pocket rockets looked downright dangerous!
The guy on the Goldwing really threw it about a bit, A goldwing is a big heavy bike n he was throwing it about like a race bike....lol
Re the road......we got some really good race / rally roads over here similar I guess when you get up north of Scotland.
That was just a crazy road though.........no sooner had you turned one way that you were turning the next!!
Not the best planned road ever, but fun to rally probably more than race as you probably wouldn't get outta 2nd gear....lol

You ridden those before Aquill?

Looks like they going pretty fast for how small the bike is, passing cars and ****. I would worry bout busting my knee cap tho.

The one I couldn't find I wanted to show you guys before was crazier! The dude seriously was going faster pulling away from the rocket that was taping him riding! The guy was touching from one side to the other with his bike! The goldwings are basically a crotch rocket....they have a huge engine and more weight but the underneath is very similar to a sport bike...

Those pocket rocket riders are crazy! They have leathers on and knee pads that would prevent road rash and what not! You guys saw the guy go into the ditch and pull right back up out right?

Yeah they are nice but the zx-14 has dethroned the long running king! You see the performance numbers for that zx-14? Nice bikes....I'm just happy that Honda is pretty much the king of bikes in the middle weight and liter class! RR man for life! You just wont catch me in a civic....ever!

Dumb Honda engineers?
I remember on Top Gear they showed a segment, albeit, on their cars. In relation to the Honda S2000 and the V Tec engine. Over 15 million units and not a single recall!
Thats impressive!
