Or at least halfway round it! :lol: :lol: :lol:
At 250 km/h+ on the Ducati it is just a matter of momentum. I would not attempt it in my Fiat van though!
You know, I think you could make it. But I also think that loop could use more structural support. And... it would be very, very important to not fall off the bike.

It never crossed my mind that you wouldn't try it. Fire up that Ducati and give it a whirl.

Yep, back-of-the-envelope calculation says it might be possible at 250kph for (say) a 200m diameter loop assuming no more than 50% energy loss due to friction etc. But hang on to that bike, and keep the throttle open! You go Gabby!

Reading an article about twins, I was reminded that before I met my wife I had actually dated a girl with a twin, and people always asked me how I could tell them apart.

It was simple, Allison painted her nails red, while her brother Bob had a beard.

Yesterday I wore an item from 7 years ago and it fit!
I'm so proud of myself, it was a hat, but still, let's stay positive :)

That's cool!

We don't have any vampires around here, mostly werewolves and a thing that lives in the pines called the Jersey Devil.

I agree: that is a cool flea market! I wonder if they had black capes and false fangs as well?

If there were silver bullets along with that pistol, you would be good for werewolves too. Not sure about ice hockey players though...

I see quite a few big bats around here: but they mostly just squabble in the nearby fig tree. :)
