Speed record broken

[Notty]

How can you ride on sand at nearly 200mph on a Hayabusa ?
Speed record broken at Pendine Sands
The flying mile record once held by Sir Malcolm Campbell in the iconic Bluebird has been beaten at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire.
Sir Malcolm set it in 1927 before actor Idris Elba bettered it in 2015.
On Saturday, Zef Eisenberg averaged 182.4mph over two miles, to set a new best on his Suzuki Hayabusa motorbike before his engine hit trouble.
A flying mile takes the average speed over two mile-long runs, with a mile to get up to speed

200mph.. on SAND.  Yeah, no thanks.

On the other hand it's probably safer than traffic....

Stupid question but what speed record is this for? Thought Act Attack holds the world speed record at 376.363 mph, bike ridden by Rocky Robinson.
