As the last post was yesterday I think I can safely declare the winners.

Fantastic entries celebrating our 2-wheeled friends. 17 clues from 9 different setters. The six clues that made it through to the next round were paul@6, nice and topical; jono@9, including the classic wall-of-death bike (Indian) and a mention to my new machine, buddy@10 for remining me how annoying mopeds can be, buddy@12, please don't get you coat!, paulhabershon@19 for a clever construction and bigbadmartyy2@20 for the ingenious 'goodies' clue.

My top 3 are:
3rd Paul@6
2nd bigbadmarty2@20
1st buddy@12

Congratulations Buddy with:

According to Spooner, VP Pence on the river could be riding this (9)


And the prize to show the incredible skills of some riders is

Congrats buddy, and thanks jimmy.

A "sign-in" window came up and blocked the first one after a few seconds, but I hope you aren't going to try to emulate what I had seen before!

Bizarrely, the second clip is the only bit of motorbike racing I've seen in the last 5 years!

I do recall TBT supporting the Rams, I remember he comes from Derbyshire somewhere.

Thanks for the win and the clips, jimmyg. I have not gotten on anything more exciting than a stationary bike in quite some time.

PR coming soon before France/Portugal starts....

Just want to say that if you haven't seen "The World's Fastest Indian" I really enjoyed it (and have seen the bike in Wellington Museum).
And that's from someone who doesn't like bikes at all!

Well done, Buddy, and cheers, Jimmy. Your new wheels would leave my old Honda 120 way behind.

Congrats Buddy and cheers Jimmy, thanks for the mention. I learnt a new meaning for ‘bike’ and also ‘moke’ from Mattrom.
