Mad Englishmen

Posted: Tue 17 Oct 2000

Earlier this year I posted a story of English stunt rider Gary Rothwell doing a 13 up wheelie and then completing 22 feet u p donut in 1 minute.

Well, it seems that another English stunt rider Dave Coates is also out to break records. He has just broken his own record of 134mph, taking it up to 145mph, what for you ask, why for riding his R1 facing backwards.

All three of these records were set on Koncord remould tyres a recently launched brand in the UK.

As if you couldn\'t guess. Don\'t try this one on the road folks.
