How does the idea of riding a motorcycle at over 300kph sound? Or, to put it another way, how does riding a rocket ship on two wheels take your fancy?

Clearly the Gyronaut X-1 is no ordinary machine. Having spent much of its life on the Bonneville Salt Flats with ‘Rapid’ Robert Leppan at the helm (indeed, between 1966 and 1970 the X-1 held the land speed record for motorcycles), today it requires some much needed TLC. That comes courtesy of Steve Tremulis, nephew of the Gyronaut designer Alex.
