So, you think you’re a great motorcycle rider do you? You think that because you own leathers, a nice helmet and maybe do 2 or 3 track days a year that this puts you in some kind of elite club. Well, think again, because what you’re about to see is something that will shatter any preconceived notions of what you think “fast” is. The following footage was shot during the 2012 Isle of Man TT and it’s some of the most exhilarating, terrifying and flat-out insane scenes we’ve ever laid eyes on.

Back in my younger (and dumber) days, running flat out on the open road on two-wheels was something that we’d do just about every weekend. Our runs however were somewhat illegal, whereas the race you’re about to see between a Kawasaki liter bike and an Audi RS6 was performed well withing the spectrum of the law as it took place on Germany’s autobahn. Both parties are no doubt maxed out, but in my opinion it’s the guy on the bike that really deserves the props.

The House Of Tuerck, the place where professional drifter, stunt guy and all around hoonigan Ryan Tuerck lives. Nestled in the New Hampshire hillside, Tuerck has managed to build his own little slice of drift car heaven complete with explosions, ramps and of course, a bulldozer. Check it out after the jump.

Whether you know it or not, the BMW 2002 is one of the most important little cars ever imported into the United States. As one of the first true sports sedans on the market, it showed consumers that you could indeed have fun while hauling 4 passengers in comfort. This 1975 model is up for sale on eBay and I’ve got to say it’s one trick little machine. Clad in slick black paint with an updated 170 HP 2.4L four-cylinder engine, dual 45 DCOE Weber carburetors, and BBS style wheels wearing Kumho 215 45 ZR16 tires, this 2002 has you covered in the performance department. The interior will not disappoint either with such upgrades as Porsche Recaro seats with netted headrests and a McIntosh head unit with 4×6 Infinity speakers. The bidding ends in 5 days so make sure to click through to check out more pics, or click here to go directly to the auction.

It’s no secret that the SEMA show in Las Vegas is the pinnacle when it comes to the automotive aftermarket. Everyone who’s anyone in the industry is there, well, almost everyone. You see this year we (the Ridelust crew) couldn’t make it, but thankfully for us we’ve got loads of friends who did. The guys from HOT ROD Magazine and Cardomain.com were there all week snapping shots, so when they asked us to post up “HOT ROD Magazine’s SEMA Top 10 Trendsetters of 2012″, we just couldn’t say no.

The Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of over 260 mph, cost almost 2-million dollars and is one of the most technically advanced machines ever created for public purchase. It also has 2 doors, enough airbags to create a marshmallow, and electronics that make sure you don’t kill yourself if you get stupid with the go-pedal. Back in September pilot Al Lamb decided to forgo safety features, ditch two wheels and run a modified Honda CBR1000RR on the Bonneville Salt Flats to an amazing top speed of 265.454 mph. So, for those of you who think going 200 + mph in a car is impressive, watch the following video and prepare to have the meaning of impressive redefined.
