mmm.... Ghost rider, he's a classic, been around for a few years now. The one I posted was made by some other guy. There's also a new "getaway in stockhoml" coming out in a few weeks: here's the trailer: http://www.zatzy.com/gis/Getaway_in_Stockholm_7.mov -quicktime player- Funny how you can get away with stuff like that in Sweden since they have to physically catch you to confirm it is you who is riding/driving.
goin, goin, gone It's not the getting caught part I worry about; it is the hitting someone who does something completely unexpected as you pass them at three times their speed. Some animal could run out as you pass on the shoulder or a driver could panic and move to the shoulder as you pass them and push you into the weeds. I did that stuff when I was young and immortal but too many variables could go wrong for me at my age now that I am no longer immortal. I did engine building for Yamaha back in the early-mid 70's and built flat track, motocross and road race engines (best job I ever had, wish I was still there). The full race water cooled YZ's were just coming out and could easily top 200 MPH. I used to set up the jetting and everyonce in a while take one out to deserted roads to test them. I went by a parked New York State Trooper as I was shifting from 5th to 6th at about 185 MPH with the open expasion chambers howling (what he was doing out in the middle of nowhere I could not guess). I tacked out 6th gear for two miles till the next turn off and bailed. I pulled into a restaurant and hid the bike behind the dumpsters covered it with cardboard and called the other mechanic to bring the shop van so we could load it. Troopers were everywhere looking for me. A girl I was dating had a dad who was the town's chief of police, he asked me if I new anything about that mainiac even though I sure he new it had to be me. Like I said though I was immortal back then. Mikey
185mph in the mid 70's must have been like the fastest thing on earth? There has been long debates over the sanity of making these movies and the guy who drives in the getaway movies is an old rallye car driver; he must be like 35-40 by now I would guess. There was one chase by two mitsu evo's during mid day in Stockholm included in one of the ghost rider movies,, scary.... Young and immortal.. and stupid... You have to include that one too, just to complete the package :grin:
