Yeah, he was backing off through the top end!! We were trying to figure out a way of describing a top fuel pass to someone who's never been, and realised we reckon it can't be done!!!! |

Kinda need to do the "feel" too as the sound / pressure waves (?) hit your body!!
Spotted in amongst the spectators, some chaps who were in the documentary earlier in the year called “Speed Dreams” about Bonneville.
The two BT guys, Steve French and Dave Branch (who basically scratch-built their own bike) and Chris Ireland, (who was riding his ‘new’ supercharged Indian at Pendine back in June).
