car vs bike
I would love to have a chance to drive a car this way...
When I moved to Alaska, I was introduced to unorganized car racing on ice lakes, what a blast...
These drift cars seem similar in the way they are driven, using power to drift the rear out and steer when going thru curves.
More throttle for tighter curves, less for looser curves.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

With a grin from ear to ear, "That was the coolest thing I ever saw...but, you know I gotta write you a ticket!"
That was what the cop said the last time I drifted.

You learn to drift or you get a lot of practice walkin' home and spend a lot of money on repairs and towin' charges !

When I was about 13-14, my mom drove a corvair and worked at a grocery store.
I remember borrowing the keys one night when it snowed and doing slow figure eights around the light poles
in the deserted parking lot.
