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.

Wisconsin police record 12 Days of Christmas spoof

A small-town US police force has recorded its very own 12 Days of Christmas, perhaps inevitably focusing on jelly doughnuts. The officers at Kenosha station, near Madison, Wisconsin, have put together the seasonal video, which instead of a partridge in a pear tree has an “untrained rookie”, as a gift from their chief.

Not all of the officers are natural vocalists, but they all throw themselves into the piece with gusto. Jelly doughnuts make the list at number four, while “five dirty squads (cars)” gets the long note treatment in manner of “five gold rings”. LINK, Via: Youtube
