Just saw this in the Herald:

The new record they've set, based on their two-way average, is just a smidgeon under 400, at 399.86 km/h. that must be a bit frustrating!

Holy shit.

"It's one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had. It takes another two miles to slow down because there's no front brake on the bike."

400km/hr is one thing, 400km/hr with only the rear brake is quite another.

"Next thing you know you're completely alone in total silence in this immense white void with this euphoria washing over you - its completely magic."

I bet it is.
