His engine exploded

Near the Pendine town of South Wales, 11 kilometers of coastline was seen by engine and car riders a hundred years ago; perfectly flat, hard sand had a better surface than contemporary roads, so there were races organized here.

The airplane, one mile-long speed record, was held by Sir Malcolm Campbell for nearly a century, racing over 280 km / h in 1927 with his legendary Blue Bird racing car. This speed was beyond Idris Alba in 2015, with a Bentley Continental Super Sport W12 running at a speed of 290 km / h - now it was the overthrow of motorcycling.

Zef Eisenberg targeted 400 horsepower Suzuki Hayabus at an average speed of 322 km / h (200 miles / hour). At its first run, it reached an average speed of 293.5 km / h; the higher the speed, the motorcycle's rear wheel spun at a speed of 385 km / h (!) continuously, over 3 kilometers.

Therefore, the second attempt was equipped with a harder-to-blend tire to replace the miscarriage racing tires. This time, the tire was not a problem with the previous attempt, but the extreme strain of the engine was also crossed by its performance: the resource exploded at 314 km / h, covering the motorcycle, helmet and everything with oil. The competitor saw nothing but managed to keep the engine steady and stop safely in the sand, while the oil was pouring into the hot exhaust.

So the first time of the first attempt was left, as it was well above the previous peak.
