Save Yourself, Lest We Have No Readers

I think I speak on behalf of the entire masthead when I implore both of the faithful readers not to do what is depicted in the following video. If your metric conversions are rusty, please note that: 100 kph roughly equals 62 mph; 200 kph is about 124 mph; 250 kph is slightly more than 155 mph; and last but certainly not least for this ride only, 300 kph just eclipses 185 mph.

To be perfectly clear, don't try this at home.

Compare and contrast with the opening scene of Lawrence of Arabia, although this guy's goggles would probably be sent into orbit.

My lizard brain is impressed by someone popping a wheelie at 100+ MPH. The rest of my brain never wants to encounter this guy on the (I presume) autobahn.

And speaking of which, let's see him try that on I-81 through Pennsylvania.

Okay, I take it all back. This clip is apparently just another day on the Beltway for JJV.
