The need for speed

[RidgeRunner]

I totally here you about make believe video. Truth is, they want to sell that boat to the common rich dude for the sole purpose of doing poker runs and the like. Those guys get a little too competitive at times. SO you won't get me onboard without a skull cap and a lifeline jacket. I will say 130 is loafing along with that rig. Not a hair out of place at 100 due to that windscreen.. Not their first run by any means, people get comfortable.. $1M boat, $100K Gold Watch, $99 PFD, No helmet! 100 + MPH = F**& That!

An acquaintance blew over at one of the Scream and Fly events a couple years ago. Jetski vest saved his life but only because we were there before the spray settled to pull his head above the water.. He was making high speed passes when he crossed a boat wake in a canal and bye-bye. Unconsious face down in the water spells disaster folks.
I guess I am getting old, I don't ski around the lake with the rope tied around my neck .. I am the voice of reason 99% of the time on the soccer field (go figure)...and I just don't need to go that fast anymore. I do like the machinery and I am still a huge gearhead, just let the younguns do the silly stuff... I'll observe from a safe distance and comment. LOL! I'm good at that..
