The Place

a team of six shed built landspeed racers are heading to BSW from england, bikes are all aircooled and range from 1941-1981 except one watercooled h*nd*-
we have the BBC making a two hour documentary , they are flying a film crew of 11 out to film the action ,including a drone aircraft , thats minging with cameras-[will it keep up?]
should be interesting stuff-set to air in jan 2013 BBC2- it follows the builds of six bikes in there respective sheds all over england-and one bike engined car built in scotland [kawasaki 289mph]
be a nice change to see some real bikes built by there owners on tv ,as opposed to a pair of thespian twats in plastic pyjamas or some spoilt american hammer heads.
follow the heated discussions , dyno room disasters , and gereral oil based dramas-

wish us all luck!

Have a look at these guys too... just a group of fellas who fancied tackling a long moribund world speed record.. on a shoestring... it's very Burt Monro, but very professionally done. Good luck, Gentlemen!

hi helen i think i spoke to the rider of that team-i got him on with our helmet deal from bell in LA-i have the IOM flag to fly here too-i actually got asked by a very nice american gentleman-on seeing the iom flag here in 2009 which, of our riders was disabled-

!!

Hope you all have a successful and fun time... a great adventure! x

well we went 164.429 mph-with a wandering misfire and at altitude of 5300ft-
not all bad as i got my c-licence-met up with some old pals and made some new ones-a great event-
met up with the iom team and flew the iom flag for them to celebrate there two world record runs-good crew-
after my first 161mph this is the most famous vincent ever-

the photographer from some magazine- my mate tim mclaughlin setting a 125cc record on his harley hummer
