has successfully pulled off one of the biggest challenges of his career, riding an entire lap of the 37.7-mile Isle of Man TT course on just one wheel for his Dougie’s Wheelie project.

Re: Dougie Lampkin
That's pretty fooking amazing!
Looks like he has a front wheel drive unit as his front wheel is still spinning the whole time and the hub is oversized. I'd say that's critical to his success keeping the gyro effect constant.
My best wheelies are accidental, any time I actually try I look like a spastic!

Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: Dougie Lampkin
I think my only ever wheelie was a nose wheelie that didn't end too well.
I'm not in much of a mood to repeat that trial & error process, TBH.
