This BEAST is finally for sale after years of people begging me to sell it. The price is $4,995 or $5,300 includes shipping it to you anywhere in the United States. Email/message this channel to inquire about purchasing this monster. This is a one of a kind custom frame built specifically for this engine. One of the previous owners told me the gentlemen that bought it from him had it up to 170mph. This kart is wicked.
WATCH TILL THE END, A POLICE CAR PASSES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!! If your impatient to watch 10 minutes of video, skip to 7:50 and watch till the end for the best part.
2005 Yamaha R1 Sport Bike engine in a Beisse Shifter Kart. Around 180 HP, weighs about 220lbs. Previous owner had Kart up to 181 mph before a tire blew out. Using GoPro Hero High Def camera with adhesive mount.
NOTE: The rear tires are worn out so the driver didn't do anything to crazy. The ending was edited out to protect the driver, what you missed was the kart driving into a garage door that was purposely left open 3-4 feet, the driver gets out and rushes to close the door. LINK: Youtube
Location: Northern Michigan
Here are a couple videos of the previous owner; where the speedo read 181mph and spun out.

Incredible Speed Boat Catch (Boat View)
One of the most amazing catches you will ever see. The plan was to launch the frisbee out into the water and for the boat to drive up onto it so the 'How Ridiculous' boys can make the catch. However, Derek had other plans giving us the Incredible Speed Boat Catch!

Little girl can type 119wpm
This little girl can type 119 wpm. It's not just a skill, it's a hobby. She started playing on the computer at age 4 and spends her weekends typing. Her goal right now? "I'd like to get to at least 200(wpm)."
While this may sound strange, I can understand the allure of the type test — when I was in middle school, I used to procrastinate from studying by taking type tests on my super old Apple machine. It's really not that different from any other addictive game — most of us now associate it with work, but back then I was constantly trying to beat myself in speed and accuracy. By the way, if you're curious to know how fast you're typing, you can take a one-minute typing test here.

Sea of Fire
Nice addictive RTS game. Speed and strategy is important in creating the right structures and troops to overwhelm your enemy. But better keep a close eye on your resources too! You can seem to be winning only to have no more cash left to defeat his 1 single troop! LINK
