    If you're competent at popping wheelies and you want to be an official
    Guinness Book of Records record holder then mail me at
    veggie_dave @ iq18films.com for details on how you could do it

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Veggie Dave
    Surely the record for "Most compound fractures in one day" has already
    gone to the Asian entry?

    It's most riders we're after as, obviously,, 99.9% of people aren't able
    to wheelie all day on the balance point and only a handful of people in
    the world would be talented and stupid enough to go for the speed record

    There's no-one around here apart from you, Dave, as far as I've seen.

    There's some fucking wicked wheelie stunters here in Kuwait. A lot of
    them have got Gixer Thous and Blades. Almost none wear helmets, but
    they often have them on the tank with a cargo net over them.

    I saw a guy rail-scrape on public road the other day. It's common to
    see reasonable combos: hoist enormous minger from standstill, get
    complete stability at 70deg, stand-up, stand on one peg only, etc.
    Sounds like a good project.

    Need to email you about the latest DVD, actually.

    Wouldn't Champ and potentially Daz count? And Ash for that matter.

    Quite. I can pull a reasonable 'road' wheelie, when reqd, but not
    within a country mile of the profesionals.

    That's what I was imagining. The problem is going to be getting
    everyone in shot at the same time, I would guess.

    The insurance claim when one goes sideways and causes a nice domino could
    set a record too...

    How much are you paying?

    Make it worth me while and I will take the decent camera to the BOSM.

    Dunno. I'm just the documentor and participant - it's a bike mag that's
    doing the actual organising
    I don't know if there is one, but you can guarantee the Yanks'll smash
    it immediately

    Hmmm. I've picked mine up in 2nd at around 50mph and put it down in
    4th at an indicated 136mph (best so far).
