"Great" more evidence to show that you do not need a joy stick between your legs to do the vast majority off things in this life, Top Girl,
That's not her mate, her name's Sarah Lezito. the stunt woman that sadly died on the set of Deadpool was Joi Harris.
Wow! That's a motivating video,@David Cooper. I think I'll take up start riding after I heal up. Then again, maybe not.
Thanks for sharing that, Jets are one thing pure noise, but the sound off Rolls Royce merlin is pure heaven, old time props rule.
Nice one. I well remember seeing a full length documentary about Britten and the V1000 before he died - that piece has some extracts from it. He was a truly remarkable man and the products of his progressive engineering thoughts and craftsman skills are just astonishingly beautiful and I've admired (read "lusted after") them ever since. They even built a few road bikes, IIRC. I was also fortunate enough to get close enough to touch a couple of the early race bikes in the paddock at the classic Pukekohe meeting many years ago and they are every bit as impressive in the flesh as they appear on the screen.
A truly unique talent taken far too early by cancer. I first saw one of his bikes in the flesh in the Te Papa museum in Wellington, it really was a remarkable piece of automotive art that wasn’t just for show. Thanks for posting the vid.
