Hey Linc, I watched the video on the Y2K bike, crazy motha funkers who ride that bike, death on two wheels if you ask me.
I can't imagine what the exhaust gas temps are, must be no less than 2000F, I was visiting with my friend who has an rx-8, which has a rotary (wankel) engine, and the exhaust gases are extremely hot. aronnd... I held my hand almost 4 feet away and I literally thought my hand was under a flame thrower, I burnt all the hairs off my hand! My hand has minor 1st degree burns now, idiot I am.
