What did you do at the weekend? We"re going to wager it wasn"t completing a one hour, 35 minute wheelie around the world"s most famous bike course.If it was, hello Dougie. And well done. Dougie Lampkin the enduro rider and all-round motorcycling scamp has just completed the first officially recognised lap of the Isle of Man TT course on only one wheel.We imagine he can"t feel his legs today. While the stunt itself looked eerily calm, the mental and physical effort of maintaining the bike"s position for such a long period of time nearly six times longer than the record lap of the TT course must have been huge.There was the average speed of 24mph with half the bike"s wheel-count for starters, not to mention some troublesome weather, which saw Dougie blasted with 40mph gusts of wind.
