..bet he couldn't reply tho. Razz

Either he's overdone the botox bigtime, or one of his many injuries has affected his face. His lips move but no other expression. Very odd.

[edit] Go botox man go. Thumbs Up

Looks like it has two wheels and an engine. Motorbike material to me.

I bet he is only doing it on the condition that he can play his sodding piano after. Seems like everthing he does ends with him playing a song on his piano Laughing

It's not a proper one, it's a two-wheeled car that gets around the rules.

But still.... 400mph!

It probably has a low, stable centre of gravity, too, what with the weight of his balls.

That is like saying a speedway bike is not a propper motorcycle course it is a proper motorcycle, just a highly specialised one as all competition bikes are.
The photo is of the Triumph Bonnie that took the record at 214mph in 1959, land speed record bikes look like that for a reason.

I just emailed the "Utah Salt Flats Racing Association" about getting tickets for 2013.

Also asked if they knew about hiring a motorcycle for the 4 days (just to get about on of course, although that would be the ultimate hire-bike piss take).

What's the betting it'll be a massive Harley bagger covered in tassels fore to aft? I fucking genuinely hope so.

We tried to hire Harleys in Hooston from Mancuso's one of the Harley Pushers. It was going to cost us about $300 for three days...
We gave it a bye.

I think it'll be an expensive luxury, but it would be quite nice to ride around rather than thumbing a lift.

Doesn't have to be a Harley in all seriousness, I'd be happy on any bike really Very Happy

Fortunately for me, I'm currently study Motorsport Engineering at the University of Derby, and I'll be one of the lucky individual's that will be working on the project!

Hopefully everything will go to planned, I got to meet Toseland on Monday as he came down to the workshops, along with his stunning girlfriend Twisted Evil
