Sounds like a lot of fun... but like a lot of fun it sounds rather dangerous as well.

I know they've been doing speedway on ice for years and years - same as with the dirt tracks just add spiked tires. And I must say some of the accidents that have happened have been spectacular.

Let's see if we can rent a rink for a night and then take our bikes out

I don't think we should brief the manager on our plans though.
