John Reed is one of my heroes.

He has a homemade luge on his property, which is no longer operational, because after the 3rd crash at 50mph+ he deemed it unsafe!
Successful runs had taken him to much higher speeds.

He sent me these pictures showing the safety harnesses, with the excuse, he is now a senior citizen... look how high he is.

The Motorcycle Hall of Fame isn't enough for this kind of ruler.

  2. Trust me, that bloody luge run being decommissioned is a very good thing. How he didn't kill himself on it, I have no idea. Mind you, he's getting soft in his old age - a safety harness!
