Guy Martin to attempt 400mph land speed record

It's a Triumph, wonder if it'll have to be push started.

Almost certainly, why would you carry a battery?

I'm assuming that was the Triumph at the IMS, yes?

What if you stall it half way through trying to butter a crumpet?

It's a Triumph. Stuff may fall off, but it doesn't quit running. And everyone knows you have your tea poured and your crumpet buttered before you start your run. Geesh, Harley riders. :(( :-)
