Very impressive indeed!

However when it comes to side cars I've always admired this guy. His world record stood for 50 years. (Ancient clip made by Avon Tyres)

Only once, when I passed a Porsche at 95 on the expressway...I quickly realized that it wouldn't take much to send me off into a different universe, so I slowed down, way down...but passing that Porsche did make me feel good for a moment...

Know a bloke who takes his Vincent outfit to Bonneville - his swinger with her face bare inches from the salt at 157mph (or some such) is a lot braver than I'd ever want to be (but apparently she loves it - "Can we do it again? Can we go faster?". Some people are just different.
