Bit slow I know but I'd still like to try one if these:

I have to agree that one wheel contraption is enticing!

A bit of an update on the TT Zero event: I have heard news today that MotoCzysz are not here this year as team boss Michael Czysz is still not in good health.
On the Team Mugen front, John McGuinness has completed a practice lap with an average speed of 115.9 mph for the 37.75 mile course this afternoon :clap:
Team mate Bruce Anstey on the second Mugen recorded over 113mph average.
Last years lap record was around 109mph so it will be very interesting to see what they can achieve in the actual race on Wednesday morning.....OZ.

This mornings TT Zero race was won by 21 times TT winner John McGuinness on the Mugen Shinden electric bike.
McGuinness shattered the previous years record(109.675mph) by setting an incredible lap speed of 117.366 mph.
The next bench mark in speed advancement will be a 120mph lap,which is now temptingly close after todays achievement.

Hi lads, this is well worth a look. Youtube on bike video of John McGuinness on the Mugen Shinden setting his race winning 117.336mph lap.
This is the full unedited lap of the 37.75mile TT road race circuit and clearly demonstrates how the electric bike technology is developing rapidly.....OZ.
