wall of death

[firebird]

Hi

We went to Lincoln steam fair today. Splendid, Lots of engines. They had a wall of death over at the fairground. I've heard of them of course and understand the principle but I've never actually seen one. Well today we went in. Awesome. The young lady rider is something else. take a look.



Never in a million years, for all the tea in china, for all the gold in blah blah blah would you get me in there.

Cheers

I hope you had a look at the bikes as well. Was it an 1920s Indian, striped down?

Hi RGY

Not sure if it was an indian but I think so. Definitely old, solid rear end and big V twin. They also ran what looked like large japanese air cooled twins. They also ran a 4 wheeled buggy.

cheers

Well, maybe after 999,999 years, yes. There wouldn't be much else I hadn't done after that long, so maybe then.
Otherwise, I wouldn't try it either!

Neat vid, Rich. Thanks.
