British Motorcycle racer and engineer, Guy Martin, is used to breaking world record for speed. Back in March 2016, Guy Martin smashed another the Guinness World Record title, this time for the Highest speed on a Wall of Death, with an impressive speed of 70.33 mph. Guy Martins custom motorcycle was specifically designed and built to tackle the Wall of Death, and engineering and custom motorcycle companies from Suffolk and Norfolk played a significant role in the creation of Guy Martins record breaking custom bike.
Demeanour Customs engineering for Guys Martins motorcycle
Here at Demeanour Customs, Paul Sadler was assigned the task of fabricating a piece of metal which would improve Guy Martins riding position. With thirty-seven years of engineering experience, Paul knew exactly how to tackle the problem. First taking the detailed measurements of Guys custom motorcycle, a CAD/CAM programme was then used to design the custom motorcycle part. Using a CNC milling machine, Demeanour Customs engineered unique handle bar spacers which moved the handle bars up and forward, improving Guys overall riding position and increasing his ability to achieve his Wall of Death motorcycle record.
Although Demeanour Customs was not credited directly in the live televised event, Guy Martin’s appreciation for Pauls engineering and metal fabrication work was shown. After the record for the Highest speed on a Wall of Death had been broken, Guy returned the handle bar spacers, with a personal note of appreciation: ‘Cheers Paul, Top Job’. A very proud moment for the small engineering and custom motorcycle company Demeanour Customs.
