Fireblade go-kart

Things to do if you have scant concern for your own physical wellbeing, #34: wedge a Honda Fireblade superbike engine into a go-kart.

That's what these enterprising gents from Escondido in California have done, and we must commend the dedication to danger, if not that decidedly Halfords rear wing.

There's some mighty impressive driving in there, too - just check out the roundabout drifting around the one minute mark.

Just a couple of questions, guys: don't you think a helmet might have been a good idea? And are you absolutely sure it's road-legal?
