... my fiancee at the time (now wife) asked me to stick around for our wedding.

What saved my life was my back guard. It was the difference from walking away only needing chin reconstruction and not walking... potentially not breathing. Every ride I wore full race gear.

My bike:

1. 1993 Engine in a 1996 GSX-R W frame.
2. Stage 3 Jet.
3. Race-Only D&D full-pipe.
4. 150 mph sprockets.
5. Welded sub-frame.
6. Race-only suspension (2" drop).
7. Custom forks (dampening).
8. Custom Swing Arms.
9. Zero Gravity screen.
10. Second Look skins.

1/4-mile in 8.8 seconds at 146mph: w/wheelie bars at Cecil County dragway.

I have a friend in the Baltimore area with some worked VW's... there is a certain park & ride ramp that has seen some serious speed testing. ;-)
