"THE CHASE"
Without hesitation, Celeste jumps on her dirt bike, buckling her helmet strap as she races off in pursuit of the biker!
The Lear Jet is starting to build up speed as it accelerates down the strip in the direction of the truck and trailer.
Arriving at the base of the hills, Celeste spies the biker heading upward into a canyon and accelerates straight up the rocky slope to cut him off.
As the biker reaches a narrow path at the top of the canyon he looks up to see Celeste blocking his way.
Desperately, he turns and tries to cut straight back down the steep side hill.
He dumps, sliding down the slope and to a stop at the foot of two DEA agents.
As they handcuff him, Celeste takes off her helmet and raises a clenched fist in a power salute. The DEA agents applaud and Celeste gives a little bow. At the trailer Terry looks down the runway and sees the Lear Jet accelerating towards him with a pack of Police cars in hot pursuit.
He instinctively springs into action. Yelling at Nitro to remove the starter and unplug the computer, Terry vaults on the still idling SuperBike.
By now the jet is even with the trailer, picking up speed very fast, leaving the Police cars in the dust.
Terry engages the clutch and is in the chase, accelerating away with a roar of exhaust and cloud of tire smoke. In less than five seconds Terry is going well over 200 miles an hour and is catching the jet, which is reaching take off speed.
Terry thunders past the Lear as its front wheel begins to lift off the ground. Pulling in front of the jet, he pushes the button releasing the parachute.
In a split second all the pilot sees out of his windshield is parachute and the Bikester logo that's on it.
Not knowing what is happening, he skids to a halt. Stopped in front of him, Terry is already off the bike wondering what to do if a bunch of very uptight guys jump out of the plane. When the police finally catch up, the men in the plane are so shook up they just hold up their hands.
CHINA LAKE LANDING STRIP - one hour later
The DEA Command van has pulled alongside the Bikester encampment. Terry and Celeste watch the finish of the DEA's telephoto videotape of the drug bust. As the chute opens in front of the fleeing Lear Jet, TK, watching through the open side door of the van, cheers and the tape comes to an end.
Not only did Terry prevent the jet's certain escape, Celeste's fearless pursuit of the dirt biker resulted in the quick capture of a major drug dealer. The agent asks if it would be OK if they release the video of the bust to the press. The DEA can always use some good press, so Terry and Celeste say, "Sure, anything to help you guys out."
RIVER CAMPGROUND - two days later
Stopping for a couple days of R and R gives TK a chance to touch bases with a few of his computer 'pen pals', or as he calls them, "Mouse Pals". He finds out that someone has been beating the e-mail bushes looking for him, also that two well dressed men in an expensive car had appeared in Baker looking for him a few days after they left. Nobody told them anything, and the only information they had was his e-mail address, 't-kid'. He immediately changes it to 'rollertk' and makes sure that only a few very good friends know how to get hold of him. It sounds like the men trying to find him were the lawyers from Atlas-Mega. TK is worried. Just then, Terry comes back from doing a little fishing. "Well, I've done that, fishing gets old, let's get going." Terry has a destination in mind.
THE BIKESTER VEHICLES
The BIKESTER adventures and traveling show are based on three very real vehicles:
SuperBike
Nearly 1/2 ton of metal and rubber overkill, SuperBike is a high-performance colossus powered by a AA/Fuel dragster engine: a twin-turbocharged Chrysler Hemi V8 nightmare equipped with a 20 inch wide rear drag slick and over 3,000 hp of ambition
RocketBike
Motorcycles don't fly... unless you build them out of authentic military surplus rockets. Tipping the scales at less than 800 pounds and measuring nearly 15' in length, RocketBike's advanced aerodynamic design, sophisticated operating systems and nearly 6,000 pounds of thrust make the sky the limit
MegaBike
Named for the huge Allison V-12 engine which powers its monstrous frame, MegaBike's aluminum mega-engine, gigantic turbo-chargers and 20 inch wide Goodyear drag slicks are a tad more powerful than polite. It just goes to show you: you can take the engine out of a P-51 Mustang Fighter Plane, but you can't take the fighter plane out of the engine. Turbocharged 1700 cubic inch overhead cam V12, anyone?
