Think your bike is fast?

This is worth watching:

Especially about half-way in for nighttime drag racing. Pay particular attention to the "guard rails".

Thanks for posting this . Gearheads are the same the world over it seems . I got a kick out of the ( lack of ) gear the riders wear in the mob scene. Full coverage helmets but shorts and bare feet !

Any motorcycle is fast if something gets within it's braking distance, when it is moving.

Great to see and the best thing they are all having fun, I also like seeing their Thai boat racing.

I expect their ladies give it a go as well. They’ll certainly have the balls for it 🤣

Looks like fun to me and I'm 72! In the US, we would have a "War of the Govt Agencies" to see who could shut it down first. Using the crowd as the guardrails is the part that gets me! Even a small bike with a small rider hitting you at 100mph has got to hurt!
