While it is true that we had all sorts of mechanical problems and desasters happen during my 10 years with the Lambky liner, my handling problems were few. I rode the thing on full steering lock through the lights due to heavy side wind, had a rear wheel explode at around 175, a locked up engine spun the liner around so that I was going backwards but the only time I layed it on its side was when I took my first driving lesson (accidently I pulled the skids in at standstill). Max tried several different set-ups for the rear end but the last creation was the best. The aerodynamics are very slippery as well so with a good engine package the thing should go very well. The potential for the Vincent liner was in the region of 350mph, one year I was about to change into top gear and had it up to around 6000 in second, that was about 250mph - the thing was rocksteady and did not need my input - sadly the blowershaft broke and sidelined us. Due to bad weather and other circumstances beyond our control I never got another chance to go 300.

PS: every year around august I get some salt fever - would be nice to be back on the salt once more.
