The world's fastest Cornishman? VIDEO unearthed in attic shows 'land speed record attempt'... maybe
Here is a film to make you giggle, a video billed as an an "early attempt to break the motorbike speed world record".
It says that after being "locked away in an attic in Redruth for over fifty years, this recently unearthed footage shows an early attempt to break the motorbike speed world record".
Adding: "Apparently shot at some unknown salt flats during the old 'Cornwall Speed Week' event, the negative film has now been digitally remastered to show local man Chris Ryan attempting to become 'The World's Fastest Cornishman'."
Well, maybe!!
