The premise, in the publisher's words

What's Happening "HANG ON” is an amazing new racing technique that enables the racer to maneuver through perilous curves with a minimum loss of speed. It greatly increases the power of your motorcycle. But it also increases the danger, particularly when your opponent is closing in. So hang on tight! Who's Who Your motorcycle is FEARLESS 4. It was specially developed with the sole aim of allowing you every possible advantage. Greater power. Greater speed. And untouchable maneuverability. Your opponent is riding the SIZZLER 7. It too is loaded with extras. In fact, some say its every bit as good as the FEARLESS 4. So watch out!
