Title: 80 Mph Shed
Post by: Notty on Saturday, 12 May 2018, 06:38 PM

A souped-up motorised shed and a motorbike will aim to break a world record on a Welsh beach this weekend.
The Fastest Shed will hope to smash its own 80mph (129km/h) record for the fastest shed at a land speed event at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire.
Superbike racer Zef Eisenberg will also attempt to break the land-speed record - and the 200mph barrier - on sand on his supercharged Suzuki Hayabusa bike.
Owner Kevin Nicks said his was the only road legal motorised shed in the world and its not a Harley !!! :)

I would love to see that busa passing at over 200mph and if he has any trouble with the bike there is a nice shed to fix it in !

That's definitely not an aerodynamic shed.

I've owned a few sheds(of bikes) that can go over 80mph :rofl2:

A friend of mine has a bking that I've had at 197mph in Scotland it could go faster but I wasn't sure of stopping distances .I shouldn't have worried as it stopped very quickly.

A motorised shed has broken its own land speed record on a Welsh beach for the second time.
The wheeled building, dubbed the Fastest Shed, clocked 101.581mph (163.487kph) at Pendine Sands, Carmarthenshire, during a speed event.
In May, the shed - driven and built by Kevin Nicks - managed 101.046mph (162.617kph) on the same sands.

I see a patent infringement looming. It would appear the designer of the shed has copied that aerodynamic front from the Reliant Robin. :facepalm:
