Repatriate the 1986 land speed record bike

About the Bike.

I donated the bike I used for a speed record attempt to Harlow bicycle museum, so that it could be viewed, admired and often inspire individuals to achieve something a bit different. The bike has been passed around various museums over the years, and it would appear when the museum went into receivership the bike was sold to raise funds for the creditors without my knowledge or permission. I have such a deep emotional attachment to that bike, as it was the bike I broke the GB land speed record on all those years ago. In 1986 it propelled me to a British absolute speed record of 110 mph behind a pace car with a faring a record that stood for 30 years. It was as you can see an unusual design, but to me it showcases the best of British engineering.

The Bike is currently located in Germany and all funds raised will be used to return the bike to myself, any additional funds raised over the target will be donated to the Prostate cancer charity in the UK.

About me

I turned professional in 1982, and retired from cycling in 1987 but I continue to coach. I became the British Cycling Federation's national track coach in 1989, and retired in July 1994, to return to competitive cycling in1997. I won the 500m time trial in the 50–54 age group at the 2006 UCI Track Cycling Masters World Championships at Manchester Velodrome. At the 2007 Championships, held at the Dunc Gray Velodrome in Sydney, I won gold in the 500m Time Trial (50-54 age group) with a WR of 34.01 and silver in the 750m Team Sprint. I went on to win 24 World Masters titles in the sprint, team sprint, 750 and 500m time trials. 2013 was a good year for Me, I won three European Masters track championships, two World Masters Track Championships, Essex Sports Personality of the year and married the love of my live Tracy Baker.

I would dearly love to be re-united with this bike, and I cant thank you enough for any donation, no matter the amount.
