    KillaCycle takes off, crashes into parked minivan; Bill Dube OK - AutoblogGreen

    Sixty mph in .97 seconds, DANG! that thing is quick! :eek: I guess he doesn't usually drive so maybe thats the why and wherefores of the crash. I also thought I heard someone say "you'll get/have traction after 2 seconds" anyone else hear it?

    p.s. My wife calls them "Donorcycles" cause that's where I got mine from. :(

    If they called it the DeathCycle, it might reduce their sales.

    Why did that man even consider giving a demonstration of that bike on a sidewalk! :eek: Common sense dude, give a try some time! That thing is better suited for a drag strip...

    I hope he's all right, and not seriously injured. :(

    Ignoring the fact that he was on a sidewalk (stupid!), why would you risk going 0-60 in under 1 second without a helmet and a proper reinforced jacket, at minimum?

    (Your head + concrete sidewalk) * 60MPH = death.

    It was just supposed to be a burnout not a run. Listen to the first few seconds of the video. Here's the whole interview.
