I guess I understand the angle from the time the ad was probably written but also LOL at the concept of a, what 130hp(?) air cooled Porsche being too much to handle

With lovely era-appropriate brakes, chassis, suspension, etc and a total lack of safety features, I can imagine it actually would be a lot to handle

I would imagine it would have some of the best brakes, suspension and chassis design available, no?

I don't think the 911 became an off-ramp deathtrap until the turbo and massive amounts of high grade Colombian hit the scene.

I wanted a 930 for a long time so I have an old copy of the 911 buyer's guide, and even 15 years ago when I bought it supposedly at least 1/4 of all the 930s had sustained damage from lift-off oversteer in turns. Back when I was looking at them, I could find 930s for $25k, but I was in college and obviously couldn't afford to drop even that. It would have been a great investment though, their prices are insane now. The slantnose ones look so good though:

The 911, like other rear-engine cars, always had a tendency to want to put its rear end in front when going around a turn. Realistically I doubt it was any less safe than the average car of 1968 though. Cars back then were just deathtraps

Nah those things were genuinely super dangerous even by the standards of the day because of the aforementioned lift-off oversteer and questionable rear suspension design that made no effort to mitigate that tendency. The hairs on your chest surrounding your gold chains were the only thing keeping you safe.

Everyone in that video sucks but having what looks like a little aooga horn mounted to your handlebars is pretty funny. Edit: nevermind that's not what an ahooga horn is, this is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqc6yRIHiW0 And now I need one for my bike.

That video was amazing. The distance he slid for! Gonna have some amazing rash. That guy was so lucky. If he had hit that pole head on instead of going off to the side, he would have died on impact.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7b40Lkldo0 Another vid in the "Okay, some prisoners" genre - there's some genuinely loving scary poo poo but everyone seems to be alive at the end of it. Particular highlight is the impressive lean angles (for a scoot) demonstrated in the clip at 37 seconds in, followed by even more impressive French swearing at his scuffed trainers when the inevitable happens.

Oh poo poo that Ninja 400 that went bowling ball into the row of bikes I’m not going to lie, watching these videos really kills my motivation to push myself on my bike. I should probably tone down watching them for a bit. E: As a new-ish rider I mean push myself as in “maybe lean a little more confidently in turns” not “put my knee down going around corners at 200mph in traffic”
