At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

What does it take to get your adrenalin pumping ? For the bikers on this BBS it could be hurtling around the Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit at breakneck speeds on Ducati, Triumph, Honda or Yamaha motor cycles. For others it may be scaling a 196' mast on a Russian tall ship that is underway. Take your pick below:

Definitely the TT. I wouldn't try it with a new bike but I would with my old 650 Norton Dominator (I'd have to get used to the right side shifter again though. AND the 1st up, 2nd, 3rd & 4th down pattern). That would give me a reason to go slower than anything else on the course.

I watched him climb the mast and suffered from acro phobia, sitting in my rocking chair. Don't think I could do that.
