Guiness World Record Fastest 1Km Wheelie Attempt - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

leanne · 09-01-2007, 03:22 AM

Hello guys this September 22nd & 23rd in a small village called Elvington Near York in England there is goint to be the guiness 1km fastest wheelie event. For any one who isn't familiar with this the record the fastest people are Terry Calcot set @ 172mph, 1st
Mick Tickle 160mph, 2nd
and Nev Moss 156mph, 3rd
To qualify each competetor has to carry the wheelie for 1 whole kilometre and the speed is taken by timing lights at the end. last year we were lucky enough to have the ghost rider there who did a Flying wheelie of 200 and something mph, we shared the strip with Straight liners and their bikes were exceeding speeds of 250mph. It was amazingly incredible to witness.
Seeing as though it is my great husband who is in third position (and on a standard GSX-R1000 K2) we are going again this year and can't wait, so anyone who is near enough please try to come and join us. if you want further details contact me

Hey Leanne,
Very cool your Hubby is in 3rd place. I'll bet he's really ready to go!
I assume the town is sanctioning the event. How cool is that. At least you have their support and gives everyone a place to do such a thing and not put anyone in harms way. GhostRider Eh? I have seen a few videos of him on YouTube. If it's the same guy..... he's nuts!
I wish I could be there but I'm pretty much on the other side of the planet from you at the moment. Have fun. Good luck to your Hubby! ~mike

he is a lovely lovely guy, nothing like you may expect. My wonderfull hubby only (i say only and laugh) achieved a top speed over the kilometre of 146.2mph. 7 th fastest this year. the wind was horrible and the record of 170 still stands. Roll on next year ! when i get round to it i will add some photo's of Nev at the event wheelying to my profile.

Get out there, go someplace,see something new,try something different! Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
