Hey guys, here's a documentary on the bike that John Britten built and stunned the world in the early 90's, it's an awesome watch.

I just think it's a complete shame that he died only a few years later (1995) of skin cancer all rather quickly. Just think what he could have done if he was still alive today?

I saw one of the Britten bikes when I went to the 'Te Papa museum' in Wellington Smile
I have read up about the bike before, but those videos are awesome, really shows just how much of a home build it really was, almost every part built and designed by a few blokes in there spare time working out of an old shed!

I've seen it before and it is a superb watch. I'm 3 minutes into it again and I'm already smiling.
