Other thing is that if the openings are so crucial, why the wheels are visible for centimeters rather than few millimeters..?

Practically collapses into his friends arms. It is impressive but not practical for just jetting onto the freeway, just my opinion. You can see how exhausted he is after achieving that speed!

Be sure to have brakes with a hard compound (soft ones just melt at that speed) and tires which are rated for at least 50 MPH (most are only rated for 30 MPH, and I can assure you that you'll notice how the carcass flexes once you approach 60). Also be sure you know the road, every bend, crease and pothole in it. very long gearing (at least 52 at the front and 12 at the back) and a nice heavy truck in front of you will do miracles.
