You guys will love this. Lots of cool stuff on this page and on Gizmag as well. Is it me, or does the picture of Postman Pat van look like the person driving it is Patrick from Sponge Bob Square Pants with 3D glasses on? You looked back and did a double take, didn't you? Haha

I have never broken a chain, but I can't imagine breaking one at 210mph!

Gary Rothwell nudges 210 mph to break world wheelie record

 

Pat / Patrick. Hmmm.

 

I used to watch Gary in Performance Bike videos! I still have them on VHS.

I saw him perform when I raced Daytona. It really doesn't seem possible to do a 210mph wheelie. Shows what I know.

Pretty amazing when I saw him. He did a wheelie into a stoppie into a wheelie and never went under 100mph. Amazing stuff.

 

When did you race daytona?

My dad and i used to go down for the 200 quite a bit... Back when Duhamel was winning on Honda if I remember correctly... 1993 - 2000 years...

I raced in 98. Its a huge fast track. Just got my race license 2 years before. Pretty awesome place. A buddy from NH was driving down so he stopped here in NYC to pick up my bike.

I just flew down.
