Clint Ewing has successfully attempted a Guinness World Record earlier this year by riding a distance of 200 ft. (60.96 m) through a tunnel of fire at Universal City, Los Angeles, USA. NBC TV was there to get the attempt on tape so that’s how we’re sharing the video with you.
A young man named Colin Furze went from the biggest bonfire record to the world’s longest motorbike one with great ease apparently. No wonder as Colin was determined to set a motorbike world record, not a very expensive one just something fun, enough to make him famous.
The challenge was to build a bike that was longer than 9.6 meters (the previous world record) and simply ride it for 100 meters. His homemade machine, previously a scooter ended up measuring 14 meters and Colin had no problems in riding on a runway at Saltby Airfield in Lincolnshire
Referring at how it ended up doing it, Colin says:
“I had a look through the motorbike world records and all the speed ones seemed far too expensive to try to break, so I thought we go for this - a nice big long one. It’s been a lot of fun.
“It’s taken a lot of building. You start doing something at one end and then you want to do something at the other end and of course your tools are 14 metres away - so you’re contantly walking up and down the garden.”
Here’s a video of Ronnie Renner on the Santa Monica Pier setting a new world record. The motocross rider managed to go for the highest motorcycle air off a quarter pipe, establishing a new Guinness World Record.
Most of us have seen or heard about outrageous motorcycles that are built to stand out from the crowd or measure as much as the entire crowd put together, but we’ve never wondered if they can actually be ridden on legal roads at least with the minimum safety precautions.
It seems that somebody has not only considered this aspect, but also came with a solution to it. By its name, the Gunbus motorcycle is the latest creation of Mr. Clemens F. Leonhardt. Also, this is the first world’s biggest motorcycle expected to go into production so imagine how would be to ride one of these things.
Quite a bang, I’m telling you! With a 410-cubic-inch, air-cooled, pushrod V-Twin the Gunbus stays true to its name: shoots like a gun, drives like a bus.
What we’re still waiting to see is the sidecar which is being designed for it, but we’re sure it is going to be another world braking record. Hey, at least you can take the kids with you and know that they’re safer that on a regular bike with sidecar.
But until, the sidecar arrives (or the kids) check out this blonde girl!
Last Sunday a new motorcycle world record took place and it didn’t even require the record holder to sit on the bike, not at all riding it. Angelo de Monaco is passionate about motorcycles and he wanted establish a new world record involving these machines. So he had 138 bikes pass over him, beating the previous 136 motorcycles world record. It took him 7 – or better said the bikers – 7 minutes so the laceration is what he had to beat, not a number. Why would anyone do that? You tell me!
During the years, we’ve kept you informed on everything that was new, outrageous and about everything that broke the rules and now we’ve come across this video which, through its slides, brings those bikes back to your memory and others more. So enjoy!
The new distance jumping world record was established by the rider referred to as “Bird”. He manages to go nearly 395 feet and easily succeeds to become the new record holder. But will he try it again? We shall see very soon!
