I’m with CBH.

In a former life I use to fly a hang glider. Once while sharing a ride with a sail plane pilot, he asked if I wanted to do some aerobatics to which I replied no. He said I thought you were a hang glider pilot. My answer was “I was and I always flew it flat and level” :smilie_happy:

I would like to ride his twistes but it would be on my wing and at a considerably slower speed. :good:
 
I would have guessed he was goin' a lot faster that 40 MPH , at times anyways , :smilie_happy: that about caused me to have a FLASHBACK ! :smilie_happy:
 
:hi: Strange .....I didn't hear any altitued warning buzzers.....I thought that was a required feature for aircraft so that the piolet would be warned when the aircraft got too low.... :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: Bob
 
For a minute there I thought that might be Colorado, then I came back to reality and realized I haven't seen a road here that smooth in some time.. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:
 
On the way home Tuesday, some kid on a CBGixxerNinja pulled up a wheelie on the Interstate as I met him, I guess trying to shock the guy on the 'Oldwing. My only thoughts were: That was crazy cool, wish he was wearing the right gear and I gotta get my Sportbike inspected...lol.
 
Hey, AApple- I live an hour from the Dragon and have driven it many times- never on a bike, though- Brand new '03 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6 sp- that was fun but I got passed by a kid in Some kind of Subaru wagon- and I was hauling butt, too- thing was I was keeping it between the lines and he was passing on blind curves- gotta keep it real.... I used to travel from E TN to NC and sometimes when I went through Murphey I'd take the Dragon- Sometimes I can be a sick puppy- There is at least one Jetta 1.8T driver who can't understand how a Crown Vic pushed him all the way from the motorcycle motel to the big lakes... I was grinning the whole time- and he was trying- I wouldn't pick on a defenseless driver- I just hated it when my briefcase and the stuff in the backseat kept hitting me in the sides and back of my head...

40 mph my right eye, but who needs a crotch rocket when you can do this on a wing.

Yeah thats pretty bad ass that he can do that on a heavy 1800, From what ive heard about that guy is that his wing has been raised to allow him to be able to lean more before it scrapes the ground
