Speed Thrills, Spills Motorcycle Road Racers
1991
Overview
Hit the brakes, slow down to 40, lean into the turn and hit the gas again. Next time past the stands some of the bikes will be doing 150. The leader, half a lap ahead of the pack, lifts the front wheel and does a 115 mile-an-hour \"wheelie\" as he goes by. Thurl Bailey, Plaza Cycle and Avon Tires have all taken [Shane Turpin] under their wing as sponsors, defraying a lot of the cost. \"Doing a wheelie at 115 feels like you're floating. The wind presses against the bike. There's so much power in that bike, and it's all right there at your wrist,\" Turpin said. \"It's like nothing you can describe.\"
