A Big Mistake!
First is something in which you might ride
when it is warm and nice outside.
Reverse the first and add a bit,
and you'll see where the first might sit.
Add E to that, move front to rear,
And now a terrible noise you'll hear!
Move last back to first and add an R
to see one who could find you, near or far.
Pluck out the letter you added back, when
a smoky projectile you will see then.
Now drop the letter which in first was last
And you will see someone who goes very fast.
Remove the C and swap middle two
to find out what's in back of you.
Now drop the A and give a good shake:
You'll see this was all a big mistake!

Wow! brilliant! I love the fact that you combined a complex word puzzle into a riddle! Had to read it slowly and focus to get into a solution mode . I worked a bit from the end back up but Wow Consider my brain teased!
uhhh
Nice. I didn't realize we were supposed to get all of the words, so I only got them from racer on.
Thanks for the kind words, tarnip. It was always the intention that people would have to work forwards and backwards to get it all. I would not expect anyone to start straight-away with the first word from only the first clue, except maybe by a supremely lucky guess.
markmonnin, I've put in a change to add a comment that the solver is expected to get all eight words. I don't know how long it takes for a change to be processed. Sorry that this wasn't clear.

You may want to try your hand at Writing Mysteries, or Screenplays. You are good. I enjoyed this Teaser. It took me on a ride that very few Teasers take me on, mentally and emotionally and then the area of suspense. Don't take this advice lightly. Good Teaser. Perhaps, I am just hungry.
Another very fun one, kinda hard to get started so I had to look at the first word in the answer
Cool. Had to work on it for a while. Thanks for posting.
Wow, I am so impressed. Perhaps I was just too tired mentally but the answers totally eluded me, . I wiil definitely try more of these to hopefully hone (or perhaps create) some skills. Thanks.
Great teaser! I've added it to my favourites!
