Lonan Gentleman's Fellowship aims for more Bonneville glory

 

A team of petrol-heads and engineers from the east of the Island are returning to Bonneville Speek Week next month, with the hope of more success.

Two years ago the Lonan Gentleman's Fellowship, with a motorbike built in their garages, went to the prestigious event and broke two records in their class, one of which had stood for over 30 years.

This time, they're taking two machines - a 500cc one and a 600cc one - and aim to set up to seven new marks in various classes.

The bikes are now packed up and are beginning their long journey to Utah this week.

Chris Proctor and Paul Hodgson are the riders, and Paul is the main man when it comes to building the bikes:
