10/25/2005: Just in time for your second childhood....
Adult Sized Big Wheels.
It's at a time like this that I wish I was still in the Navy, and posted to someplace like Subic Bay, where we'd have weeks to months of very little to do, punctuated by days of frenetic activity (i.e., the fleet being away from port, versus the fleet making a port call; this is the JAG's version of the standard line about naval warfare: "hours of boredom punctuated by minutes of sheer terror"). During the slow periods, we'd find our amusement by engaging in activities like miniature golf tournaments and go-cart races (very elaborate, day long multiple elimination tournaments; you have a tendency to do that when you belong to a group of overeducated bastards who have a love of complexity for it's own sake, and a lot of time on their hands).
Somehow, if we could have gotten our hands on about six of these back then, we could have done some serious road racing around the base...
