Video: Dougie Lampkin's wheelie special bike

At the end of last year 12-time World Trials champion Dougie Lampkin attempted keeping up the front wheel of his trials bike for the entire 37.73-mile of the Isle of Man TT course. 

After completely this monstrous task and pulling off the biggest moment in his career, we thought it only fair MCN get a go. Not at completing the TT course, don’t be obsurd, but to see if we could even just wheelie Dougie’s special bike. 

“It’s quite hard on the feet, ankles, knees, shoulders and neck… it seems to be a little bit of everything” – Dougie Lampkin

Watch the video above to see how MCN Contributor Jon Urry got on and pick up this week’s MCN for the full story. 

And if you like the above video, why not watch Jon talk about his Ducati 916, 23 years on from it’s first launch in 1994 here.
