I never was any good at sustaining a wheelie so I find this incredible.

Dave Taylor did that over 35 years ago. May well have been 1978 or thereabouts. I was watching at Glen Helen when he came past.

Dave Taylor attempted it 3 times, but never actually finished the course according the the blurb around Dougie Lampkins attempt http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/2016/september/dougie-lampkin-wheelies-entire-tt-course-/
I remember the commentary on Manx Radio at the time. They said he'd done it.
I wouldn't give MCN reporting much credence. They can't even get Dave Taylor's bike correct - it was a Honda CR. It ain't the paper it used to be when there was 'The Motor Cycle' to keep them honest.

Lampkin's skills are almost supernatural. Supposed to be a nice guy too.

More than could be said of his dad. I had a run in with him on a trials section many years ago when he disputed a marking. Nasty piece of work.

A sportsman disputing a judge/umpire/referee's decision, I can't believe that
