i have a motorcycle and i have been 180km per hour on a flat stretch (i am
from canada) and believe me, there's no f***ing way i want to make any turn
at that speed unless it is a BIG, LONG curve of about a 20 degrees gradual
turn. anything else would be unthinkable unless i had a pro bike like the
rice rocket racers with high-tech leathers and 4 years of training!!!!
IMO, there should be handling penalties for high speeds on certain types of
vehicles, because i am an adrenaline junkie and i like going fast...but i
am not suicidal.
sure is fun though...hehe
