Dougie test’s wheelie hard
CARS on two wheels and what’s this? Motorbikes on one wheel? What’s going on? This is going on. Red Bull athlete and 12 times World Trials Champion Dougie Lampkin MBE is planning to wheelie around the entire thirty seven and three quarter mile Isle of Man TT course next month. Like you do. He’ll use a specially modified Vertigo trials bike with a bigger radiator, extra fuel and an electric motor to keep the front wheel spinning. Dougie’s feat will be captured live on RedBull.TV from 5pm on September 24. With three hairpin bends and over 1,000ft of elevation changes the world’s longest wheelie record couldn’t be in a more difficult location. But if anyone can, Lampkin can.
