Thanks Malcolm,

It worked. Hope Guy will mend soon.

W. Walrus is fit, tanned, ready, and trained on Triumphs.  That liner will run at its full potential, no problem.

How I'd love to see W. Walrus listed in the FIM records as fastest bike pilot on earth.

Looks like Triumph has put their attempt on hold till 2016 due to Guy's crash. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2015/august/triumph-puts-brakes-on-speed-record-attempt/

There is a nice article on the BMST in this month's (September 2015) American Motorcyclist magazine.  Scooter took the photos.  I could not find an on-line copy of the article.  AMA members get the magazine.

Yes nice article, can,t wait to get to the salt it just ramped up the excitement of it all.
My 72 350 Yamaha is running great here at sea level hope I do well at 5000ft

A short movie about Guy Martin was shown at our Triumph Club movie night a few years ago.  He is a truck or bus mechanic when not racing and he seemed to be a pretty nice guy.  I sure hope he gets better and takes up LSR.  That street racing they do in GB is awfully dangerous.  The salt flats are a lot safer.

Yeah, I saw that movie, too. Those guys have more guts & skills than brains. Probably the most dangerous sport of all. Over 200 riders have died at Isle of Mann alone.
 
I hope he heals quickly. While he's healing, maybe he can reflect on how lucky he was to get off where he did. (no stone wall to hit!)

I think I've seen all the TT movies on You Tube. It's crazy what they do. Valentino Rossi said NO WAY he'd ride IoM at speed. FIM stopped all their TT races many years ago.
