Jay Lawrence, a Bridgestone tyre specialist, rides the 2013
Cliffhanger hill climb,setting a new record of 2.04.596, with an average
speed of 176.25km/h, eclipsing his own past record of 2.09.68.

I wish I could say that I could ride that fast or that my trusty K could go that fast but no way, top marks to the guy! Sorry there is no BMW content but worth a watch nevertheless.

The Cliffhanger is at Gladstone, near Masterton, New Zealand, and is a
6.1KM closed road hill climb. Jay is riding a Bridgestone slick shod
2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R.

What I find incredible is that it is a road, not a race track with a perfect surface.
Could have sworn I saw him cross a cattle grid at one point Smile

Joey was wonderful rider and person, I remember watching a film about him and in his interview the level of humility of a man who was at that time the best rider in the world was humbling so sad he is not still with us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCYy3gXBIw Great stuff!
