C'mon Guido, don't be such a tease. Is that Ghastly Rubberfat, or who?

Broke my sternum, two ribs, my tailbone, and gave myself a concussion. Nothing like camping in a beautiful place, only to be up all night puking. My sternum painfully cracked for two years after that whenever I took a deep breath.

Good times.

The Norge/Mr. Sven bike chute image is impressive but looks like it may be photoshopped.

I can't find any evidence that anyone rides down the one in the photo above, however

You can take a run down the mountain year-round for about $20.
In summer, they use a sled with wheels, which isn't as fast as those which run on ice
but still gets up to a speed
of about 65 mph. and can pull 2.5 G in the corners
(on ice, they pull 4.5 G!).
I took a ride and was blown away; the turning velocity of the wheel-bob

makes motorcycle roadracing seem
tame, especially when it goes nearly upside-down through the banked turns.

I'm gonna cry. That picture of your bike makes me think of my Bianchi -- stolen two months ago after six years of daily use.

Oh Ghost, I am so sorry. This is a very special bike to me and I worry about it being stolen all the time. It was hand made at the Bianchi factory in Italy to fit me. It has a "handmade medallion" and signature on it which I worry is like a spotlight to "notice me". However I did eventually swap out the stem when I didn't want to ride in such an aggressive posture. I also cannot swap out the front cluster for 3 chainring which I'd really like to have a better climbing ratio. Ravages of age!
