I’ve seen it a couple of times. On closed roads, mind you. Looks very exciting, possibly because it seems VERY dangerous too. These things will do 100 km/h, with the rider flat on his back, peering over his own body and using his weight to steer, and feet to brake. Madness. But jolly good fun, from the looks of it. 🙂
