Balls of Steel or Complete Lunacy?

Motorcycle Stunt Rider Craig Jones was sent by Buell to try to establish a speed record… on ice.  As the title of this post suggests, I’m not quite sure whether this guy is a total lunatic, or he has gigantic cajones made of steel.  I’ll lay out the facts for you so you can decide for yourself.

  • He was going 148.7 mph on ice on two wheels.
  • Lake Dellen of Sweden, the location of the “stunt”, forms a very thin layer of ice for a very brief amount of time in the dead of winter.
  • According to the article, no one even keeps track of this record, so you pretty much did it for nothing.

You make the call.  Check the video out too:
