British trials motorcycling superstar Dougie Lampkin, a 12-time trials world champion, is training to wheelie the entire way around the storied Isle of Man TT course ((37.7 mile, 60.6 km)
Throttle against rear brake, with body positioned for balance and steering with hundred of corners.
The stunt will be performed on a lightweight trial bike. It will be televised by Red Bull (Credit: Red Bull Content Pool)
Not that I’m slighting what Dougie Lampkin is doing, ’cause I damn sure can’t do it, but didn’t Doug Domokos ride a wheelie for something like 145 miles continuous back in the 80’s?
The late Dave Taylor did this in 1976 or 77 on I believe a Yamaha XT500.
