Yup. Their is a bit where the front wheel is flapping about at 170ish. :shit:

Hopefully I will be in Ireland next winter to see a couple of races.

And drink Guiness.

Dunno, but I believe he holds the record for fastest average speed on a road race course, NW 200 I think.

Feel free to correct me if I'm telling porkies.

I was thinking to myself "I'd have thought that bike would be quicker than that, maybe its short geared because the infield is so tight"

Then I read your post and clicked its MILES AN HOUR>

Holy shit!

respect.......
