Every year in a time-honored tradition, one the craziest bike events in the world descends upon Finland for a weekend of insanity, octane and all-out mayhem. Known as Bomber Weekend, it's unlike anything we'll ever see in the states.

What once started as a small gathering of riders to practice stunting and showcase new skills back in 1999 has grown into a weekend-long event chock full of burnouts, bizarre contests, live bands, drag racing and a dyno shootout. The two most engaging events would be the mass burnout, where all attendees are encouraged to burn rubber at the same time and the Killer Bee, which is a drag race for moped-like vehicles powered by huge engines-this year's winner was a Suzuki PV50 powered by a GSX-R1100!

Another staple of the event that seems oddly normal for event veterans is the mass amounts of female undergarments, lingerie and dresses worn almost exclusively by...men. Add in the massive amounts of booze on tap and you've got a recipe for some crazy shenanigans.
