failing that MotoGP then speedway then supercross.
Cars are for getting you to work :D
I'm in for the adrenaline although I have to play cooler because not good for the heart and the common dangers involved, even on the race track..
But motorcycles... I stay away from them. Not because I am scared but I am scared not being scared enough, just ripping the throttle open. I drove 50cc Simpson, 3 gears, with they boys when I was younger so I have a bit experience. All of them drive race bikes now. With blue discoloration on the rear slick. One of them let me ride his Aprilia a few years ago on the track. I forgot how it's called. All I remember it had like 198 or 298HP and a positive HP/kg ratio. So more HP than weight.
I enjoyed it even though I just had my normal racing suit and a lent helmet, gloves and back protection. But that things lifts the front wheel in any situation and I only went full throttle once. Nope. I would kill myself in the speed and acceleration rush. I played with the thought of getting some half-cross that only can do like 120-140km/h to cruise around. But I myself have overseen bikers in the past because of bad visibility. So.. nope, too dangerous.
