Some on here wouldn't just wanna ride it, they'd wanna do it on our roads without getting pinged for speeding just a little :lol::lol:

219kmh on a beach in 1907 would have been a hairy ride!

Whadda you mean "Would anyone ride this?" I would camp outside to make sure that I had first go. And I happily pay for the experience!

You might as well go first, I don't think there would be a second. It will most probably burst into flames or the person riding it will come to a spectacular end.

No thanks either am not that brave, remember you going where no ones gone before damm imagine what tires where like back then

there was not any v ratings must got bloody hot

Sir malcom campell was brave man i must admit that water record that died doing that was just so dangerous

Book on his life was really good read too, i must admit love to try making small bike and try make it fast esp on those salt flats you whould be the best

Place to ride fast

I like to know what happens at V1 and V2 ? And if you have to abort the take-off? :crazy:

I don't think leaving the ground would be the objective but I'd say the Vne would be pretty high.
