I was ruminating on the subject of a 133mph lap on a stocker as I was walking into work.  Its an astonishing feat of skill and engineering.

Without wanting to spare a whole other debate - the idea that one of these is available for purchase to ride on the roads and that people actually buy them is just ludicrous.  No wonder so many people find themselves in difficulty - things must happen very quickly with that much power on tap.
