I'm a little concerned that it might not be UCI legal, but at least it is powered by Michelin -- shouldn't that mean something?

Edit: Here (http://www.swissrocketman.com/ete06.html) is some more details on the bike.

what if that fuel tank explode right underneath his "crown jewels"...that I am more worried than him falling off the bike at 200+ km/h and break up every single bone in his body. :D The last segment where the driver heaves out a sign of relief tells it all.

The difficult part is keepin' the front wheels stay planted on the ground. A slight uplift...game over. I would think a rigid fork up front would be a better choice.

Reminded me of something I experienced years ago when I was living in Germany. I was riding with a friend in his VW Jetta on a staright stretch of the autobahn doing about 150km/h. He says something like "Guck mal nach hinten," and I see a couple of spots that turn out to be BMW motorcycles that pass us like we're standing still.

Anyway, 236km/h is just under 150mph - with no windscreen, and if you notice, the guy's not even particularly aero. Must have been difficult just to hold on.

Rocket Bikes!
