[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 1489645, member: 2550"] Hey All, My wife and I will be making the first(of three) of our annual trek to Las Vegs in a few weeks. This time, she kicked it up a notch. She made a proposition that I don't think I can fulfill. I would [B]LOVE[/B] to, but don't think I can do it. [B]The Deal[/B]: If I can and will ride the X-Scream and the Insanity ride on the Stratosphere. Her part of the bargin will be to buy me a Sportster Harley. **Disclaimer** Ol' Cohiba doesn't have any fears nor phobias except one....Acrophobia. Yep, the fear of heights!! I detest airplanes and anything outdoors over a height of 5 stories high. Don't know why, just do. Airplanes.... I have to have my liquid courage(vodka) before I get on that crazy thing!! Yes, I understand Bernoulli's Principle, thrust, lift, drag, gravity,...blah, blah. Its just something in the back of my mind...if we have engine problems....we can't pull over and call a tow truck. Nope.... we fall all the way to the scene of the crash!! Sooooooo, knowing this about Cohiba and how he hates heights and flying, would you ride these two rides for a new Harley Sportster?? My wife has ridden these several times and on the X-Scream...she wants the front seat. Me.....this ride makes my [I]Go-Go's [/I]tingle!!! The Insanity ride....my wife gets bored on this one and wants to ride the X-Scream again!!! WTF... is wrong with her!!?? So....would you man-up and ride these for a new 2011 Sportster?? Or, stay safe on the sidelines and wave as your wife waves back as she rides the crazy things?? The [B]X-Scream[/B]...866 feet above the Las Vegas Strip...the one my wife rides in the front seat...she would stand-up on this if they would let her!!!! This is the one that makes my Go-Go's tingle!!!! [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtU716sQoRI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtU716sQoRI[/URL] The[B] Insanity [/B]ride...only 900 feet above the Las Vegas Strip...this one makes me weak in the knees and my heart skip a beat!! [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqB6GYoCNo0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqB6GYoCNo0[/URL] So....what would you do?? Thanks!! Cohiba [/QUOTE]
