Guy: “That’s the testing week for the Triumph streamliner over and like I said earlier in the week, it’s gone according to plan. I got the hang of steering the thing pretty quickly, then it was a case of building up speed. Wind is the big thing out here, so it’s not a case of just jumping in a twisting the throttle. We chipped away and early on Tuesday morning we did 274.2mph, making it the fastest ever Triumph. Everyone was dead happy, but that’s just one step to where we want to be. The current record is 376.36mph, so a way to go yet.”
