3 world records in one, PLUS a cycling world record to back it up. One of the best programmes i`ve seen.

GOOD WANNIT?

Yep - very.  Wonder if my Tiger could do it?

Yes it was a good program, personally I think he should have stuck with the Indian, his bike seemed to not be as stable on the wall, it looked as if he was fighting vibration all the time.

A good record broken and long may it last.

He's a wimp IMHO - this is how to do it

Probably, but could you get back down without stuffing it up, like Guy did on his first attempt on the small wall.

I reckon it will only be beaten if someone builds an even bigger diameter wall to keep the G forces down.

It wasn't just me then. His own bike looked positively skittish compared to the Indian.

Excellent programme though.

He did mention he had a wobble when his vision went for a fraction of a second, but managed to throttle down until he could see the red line again.

Interesting though, his home built bike was a 70s BSA Rocket 3 engine, housed in a 70s Rob North racing frame. The engine note was distinctly triple in tone, just like my 955i Daytona. Absolutely uniqe. I did like the modified Indian Scout though, it had a nice sound, and looked much more stable, as it`s a laid back cruiser style, designed for straight line cruising, ideal for the wall of death riding. The Rob North Rocket 3 was a modified track racing frame, with much sharper steering, specifically for quick directional changes required on race tracks, the trade off being much reduced straight line stability.
