Guy Martin, land speed record

[unkleGsif]

Not many, if any
The Kahunna's required are considerably underestimated, having personally experienced the shite-ya-pants feeling at 48.9mph on road down hill, draughting a car
Easy to big it up, but would be seriously hard to actually execute, I reckon

Done 49.6 downhill on pioneer. No car. Great fun. Not sure what difference 50mph or 100 would make to fear factor. All relative I suppose.

having had a zx9 helps I suppose. Once you get above a few mph in Lycra dies it naked a difference? I equate it to jumping from five floors or fifty five floors onto concrete. Effect will be the same. Haven't seen the prog but will search it out.

Yep, a legend indeed and he's got a V Due in his living room

I spotted that too! nice bike

Don't really see him as a legend of the TT, not won anything. Joey is a legend, Mcguinness is a legend. Guy Martin seems like a nice guy, but he's not a legend.

Really? Didn't know British Land Speed records were allowed to be set in the US.

You live and learn.
