You don't have to be crazy to ride a Top Fuel Harley, but it helps.

This is Andy Beauchemin of Sherwood Park, Alberta.  Love the helmet.

Yes, you do.  Those guys have a defect.  I've ridden 9 sec bike, and I know that it's not even remotely comparable as I was on a street bike, but that level of acceleration on anything so unstable is insane.

I'd never ride a Top Fuel Harley.  However, I'd jump at the chance to drive a Top Fuel dragster or Funny Car.

I've got more passes on a bike than my cars...so I'm comfortable flung either.

Would take quite a bit to get to be proficient in one of those though...sheesh.
