I'd do the track thing. The Isle of Man TT. I probably would do it too but I'd need a new set of leathers after it (Providing I didn't wreck and die) cause I probably would shit my pants the whole time.

My friend Angela gave that a shot. She loaned a sidecar team some jets when they came up short and was offered a ride during practise as pay-back. To know how funny that is, you would have to know that she weighs just over 100 pounds in full gear, so she was leaning far out enough in corners that her head was maybe 2 inches off the asphault Got pictures of it somewhere.
Me? Un-uh. You have to be in shape to be a monkey.

I'd do it. I sure as hell do it before I'd ever jump off a cliff or out of an airplane.

I was an Air Cadet and never took jump school. Figured that if I ever HAD to jump out of a plane, I'd consider it OJT.

And 10 years of working in downtown Toronto is why I can't feel sympathy anymore when I see a cyclist hit by a car.

i'd give it a go, but there's not a whole lot that I'm not willing to try

I would give it a go - but only with certain riders piloting the bike...otherwise no. Control issues. Yup.
