The world of two-wheel sports is a wacky one and this latest Isle of Mann TT wheelie world record further proves my point:
It’s official! Dougie Lampkin 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. Setting off from the iconic grandstand in the town of Douglas, 12-time World Trials champion Lampkin battled strong winds, traffic (the roads remained open during the attempt) and the sharp rises and falls of the TT circuit to lap the course in one hour 35 minutes.
