Rudi Uhlenhaut giving press demonstrations of the 230SL at Montroux, 1963. On the same day, Mike Parkes was testing a 250GT Ferrari, and was just 0.2secs quicker than Uhlenhaut in the much less powerful Mercedes.

Riding a scooter without a crash hat in the shadow of the leaning tower of Pisa! In terms of safety, I imagine such activity comes pretty close to taunting a king cobra at the 'bitey' end.
