Wow..that seems a bit, well, dangerous. I don't think a motorcycle wheel is at all designed for side load.

Yeah, but "Theory" is a magical happy place where nothing ever goes wrong. I hope to move there someday.

Cycle wheels have ben used for years by the drag community. Another reason I prefer autocross.

I live there. The punchline "In theory, we should be millionaires. In reality, we live with a couple o' whores" is used frequently in the Hong garage.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.

In practice, theory and practice are different.
