Now a lot of people seem to think that going fast with vehicles is a modern thing, but just take a look at Rollie Free breaking the motorcycle speed record in 1948 :



To protect himself and allow comfort when in such a position, Free had developed special protective clothing.
However, when his leathers tore from early runs at 147 mph, he discarded them and made a final attempt without jacket, pants, gloves, boots or helmet. Free lay flat on the motorcycle wearing only a Speedo bathing suit, a shower cap, and a pair of borrowed sneakers

Breaking the record at 150.313mph
