After interesting days at the Harrogate show it was good to see Johns steam bike record project I wish all the best in his speed attempts.

Only being at the show for five hours – I am amazed at how much I missed. Next time, early start and false beard

I spoke to John R about it too….Just hope he finds a person with long legs and heavy duty build to ride it.

Puts me in mind of the LMS Turbomotive. These things can be done if you have the right people

This bike looks like a crossover from tracks to two wheels probably more suited to loco men.
