Default world wheelie championship

Just wanted to let the bury lads who know lee cottrell (longman) know that he is at the world wheelie championships today at Elvington near york, yesterday in qualification he managed to do a measured 150 mph wheelie over a kilometre on his turbo charged 1200cc suzuki bandit, and that result put him in 7th place among the fastest lads out there and also his own personal best.

I wish him all the luck in today's finals and hope the weather holds out.

I had 5 stitches in my scrotum thanks to the gear shifter on those bikes

Cheers for the shout out mills ,
Hi everybody really good weekend managed a 151.3mph wheelie,
Over the kilometer, very windy on Sat and Sunday.
Which put me in 12th place overall out of the 35 riders that entered.
The guinness world record has been broken this weekend,
With a 199.4mph wheelie by one of the dutch lads,
Egbert van popta.

Take it easy ever one I'll see you Sunday at bury for round 6
