Here's How To Humiliate Yourself While Riding A Drag Bike

Unexpected things happen in motorsports, just ask Comp Bike Champion, Brett Ghedina. At last weekend’s Maximum Thrust Grand Final at Perth Motorplex, Kwinana, Ghedina went to launch his supercharged Honda CBR, and the result was worthy of appearing in the Guinness Book of Records for the shortest drag race ever seen.

A wiring issue on the boost controller meant the bike’s power was delivered all at once making the rider lose control almost before starting. Ghedina himself was also partly responsible as he decided not to use a wheelie bar at all. The best news is he only suffered a bruised knee, which after a 70ft flight can be considered as a victory.
