the person who wants to go, fast!

Gives skid marks a whole new dimension.

Speaking of dimension, anyone visiting Curaçao (or South Rotterdam) may wonder why the many tire skid marks on just about any road.
Drifting with bikes (trikes/quads/cars) is a favorite pastime on the isle, the local term is fever.

Vehicle inspection on the island amounts to nothing, lots of car engines that leak/sweat oil. Car emission control is non-existing, and fuel quality is poor.
It rains very little on the island, usually at night.
But when it rains during the day, just a few drops of water on the road turns the large amount of burnt tire rubber and oil in the pavement into a soapy substance layer on the road surface that is scary scary slippery.
Even on the Willemstad beltway, driving faster than 15mph when it rains is living in the fast lane.

Makes all the bike drifting good practice for when it starts to rain and the skills are really needed.
