Ian,Have you ever ridden a bike?(at speed) I cannot imagine that you have? The sensation, the thrill,the feel of the engine working. Yes a kart is open, but the utter stupidity/thrill/hard on feeling of riding between 2 lines of traffic at 160 knowing you can die at any second really is as close to jumping out of a plane KNOWING you have no parachute! Your senses tingle.You know how Hilary felt on Everest.How Armstrong felt. Did they say "ooh no not doing that, sounds a bit dangerous" Did people stop them saying no one should try these things, we should all stay at home? You are sounding a bit like todays parents (not a man with kids flying planes!)Are they completely safe at all times? This is why these people lived? If it was up to you would no one have ever been to the moon? Or up Everest? We have a problem trying to get our children to get out and live life now with so much on computer, they can conquer Everest in a day on I-everest!But it is just not the same!!!! It is why we go to theme parks, it is why we watch scary films! You imagine all these things and times 100 is what I feel when I raced the IOM TT ! And I would LOVE a NURBURGRING TT !!!! OR F1 race
