OT: 1000 HP motorcycle

"Safety: Argyle ran the exhaust pipes coming down from the cylinder heads wide and close to the ground. That way, if the back wheel kicks out during a race, the large pipes will scrape against the track and stabilize the bike, enabling the driver to right it."

 :roll:  Not sure I think safety when a big blower is sitting in my crotch  :-o
