Top Gear: Britten V1000 Racing Motorcycle

Found this on an old VHS tape and thought it far too important not to share. I should mention that this was filmed before the loss of John Britten who sadly died from a form of skin cancer on the 5th September 1995 aged just 45 years old.

Sucks that he died of cancer =/ He should've at least have died while riding.

I love people with dreams that manage to make them a reality.

@VIRALinflux Totally agree - but too many of us NZ'ers are dumb, thick, and lazy, just like you say. Moreso than foreigners. Just sittting around bitching but living on the benefit, while hard working kiwis like me an you pay for them to fuck around, bash their kids, drink, and do drugs, through our taxes.
