An alien craft has landed in our kitchen

How fast does it go mister

That's the $64K question, and I don't know the answer yet!

Just supposing the engine could turn top gear at 90rpm, it would be doing 39mph - but I think that's more than a little optimistic. Similar machines have averaged 32mph on tight, twisty criterium circuits, though...

Thank you, FF

I was practising Face #17 at the time.

Ah I see... please don't show us any more

I reckon my "tatty old Kingcycle Wasp" ((c) Dave Larrington 2008) will still be able to beat it, Nick!

Do you think your "tatty old Kingcycle Wasp" will be able to beat the Beano or the Beany?

Quite possibly, since the engine is still the bit that really matters

Almost absolutely no chance!

I did beat Steve Slade in the "Little Black Number" in the criterium at the WHPVC in Brighton - but only because he rode off the course and crashed into a tree.
