lol ... at least you'd have fun before you turn your self into a greasy spot on the road.

greasy spot? Hell I'm gonna embed my body into the solid pavement. I will settle for nothing less.

last time i checked when a person hits the pavement at 250 mp/h they don't get imbedded in the pavement ... rather they bouhce around and make a very big mess. Unless you jsut get tossed off hte bike and slam into a wall ... then yoru might hit hard enough that you (or most of you) will actualy get stuck in it ...

(and yes i know that was sarcasm in your post ...)

No, if I were to die on that cycle I would settle for nothing less then embedding myself in the pavement. I think that with a nitro tank and enough strait road (with a brick wall at the end) I could do just that.

well in that case you wouldn't be the one imbedded in the wall ... you'd problaby be about 40 feet away from the wall, on the other side, with peices of the wall imbedded in whatever little bits and peices of you that they manage to scrape off the road. Now if i knew a thing or two about physics i could problaby tell you more.

if they think that of regualr gas it could hit near 400 then it could probably hit or pass the 400 mark with a nitro tank.

It'll probably be made for collectors or eccentrics, but woe unto the soul that dares to try and ride this thing.

yea cause the person who has it will probably end up trying to max it out...which is insane even with body armour

correction ... with nitro you loose your legs when the pistons get blown through of the valve covers ... and the valve rods go flying and impale whatever happens to be above them.

That kinda happened to my uncle ... his 1972 drag racing camaro's engine blew up when he hit the nitro while he was racing. i think it was the valve rods that got shot out of the hood ... i can't remember but something was blown through the engine and through the hood ... maybe it was just the valve covers ... i can't remember this was about 3 years ago.

nitro would cause a push rod to fly up through the hood. the sudden jolt of power from nitro in the right car can snap your neck if your arent strapped down. not saying this to anybody peticular but dont believe alot of things your see in movies like that ex: fast and the furious. movies liek this are crocks of bullshit. only saying this because friends have died cause of that type of shit.
