I've given up watching these programmes where they 'build' stuff - they make it look so easy!
On another forum I belong to a bloke came on and said he wanted to build a bike like this (posted a pic) or this (another pic) and did anyone have any advice. They were both very fancy builds with fancy paintwork (all overdone IMO) and apparently from some TV programme.
People started giving him good advice and it then became clear he hadn't a clue what they were talking about, had never ridden a bike and didn't know anything about bikes!

Guys Wall of Death live on Monday 28th 7.15pm - He's attempting a world speed record on a Wall of Death, and the speed he's aiming for is apparently 100mph. That may not seem particularly fast, but according to an article I read, the speed on a normal Wall of Death is 22mph. The increased speed will mean G forces approaching 10G, which means blacking-out becomes something he has to be aware of. https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=A0WTTclFR_FW9Q0AzTdNBQx.?p="guy martin's wall of death"&fr=yfp-t-204&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Ai%2Cm%3Apivot#id=1&vid=2ae9b8ee16533b4af8a7df17baf4c2ac&action=view The man and the bike
