I especially like the bit that says:

The carburettor can be adjusted to take account of different people's weights.

Hee hee hee, you could have some fun with that.... Jez, these are set up for me, but have a quick go anyway.....

They look amazing.  Wonder how much they cost?

An absolute fortune, no doubt - how cool would it be to be able to run at 25mph? When I get some I'll have to design a little nitrous kit....

I was quite amazed to read that top sprinters can reach 23mph.
