Default beat a Lambo!

saw a Lamborgini Gallardo on my way home so I decided to race him... on my mountain bike!

As luck would have it we were going down a steep hill and he was stuck behind traffic at about 25mph. Not having to stop for crossing traffic and being able to get up on the kerb helped me win also!

These cars look really nice I would love one it this one sounded really loud though even at 20mph.

I was stopped by the Police for speeding on my road bike.....

54mph in a 30 zone in the lovely village of Houghton


Mr Plod was not a happy chappie........I think Lambos go a bit faster than that though

Dan seeing as you have a Lambo killing bike, are you gonna do the usual Street warrior thing and slam the bike, under frame lighting etc etc ?

Scary no...risky yes

Its a proper streamlined carbon fibre Bianchi road bike so handles really well....but the village is also on a very steep hill
