The Rob North framed 750cc BSA Triple machine on which Guy Martin set a new world speed record on a Wall of Death, live on Channel 4 over the Easter break, will be at the 36th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show this weekend.
The road racing, mountain biking, lorry mechanic blasted around the specially-built 37m diameter wall at a speed of 78.150mph on the BSA that he built in his own workshop, with the help of his dad and mechanic Cammy Whitworth.
