Guy Martin set the land speed record on a bike (on a beach!) last year... breaking a friend of mines record that had stood since 1982 (set on the M42 the day before it opened)
Here's Legros record: (we've ALL seen Guys record?!)

My friend then fell extremely sick... now has a huge scar from his neck to the bottom of his ribs... apparently it was serious. This was in June this year. BUT he wants the record back! This time he's not the one cycling - he's driving the car. But the guy that is cycling has been affected by heart disease himself. They're going for the record to raise money for The British Heart Foundation.

Yesterday they reached 100mph, today they're going to 115mph. Please take a look at the website and the pics of the vehicle and bike they are using - it was all put together in Legro's garage!!! Legend

Please... if you can give anything... make sure it includes a comment regarding his use of knicker elastic and an old RAF parachute for the safety devices.

Re: Guy Martins land speed record
Rode with him a few years back, he coached a good friend of mine and I went to Mallorca with him (Legro's Training Camp)
He's a total legend
