Bubba Myers Speed & Wheelie Record - UK
Indian Motorcycle, officially entered the World Wheelie Championships at ELVINGTON UK on 18 August, 2019 with experienced American protagonist, Cecil ‘Bubba’ Myers, also setting two UK production bike speed records on the FTR1200’s debut.
A tentative first outing at the Straightliners-run event that sees an eclectic mix of machines enter, including turbo charged machines that reach over 210mph on the back wheel, Bubba’s FTR 1200S was simply a production machine with the rear number plate hanger removed.
With a limited number of runs, due to other commitments for Bubba on his regular turbo-charged machine, the 2018 world champion set a fastest 1 Mile Wheelie at 131.137mph on the FTR1200S, before going on to set two UK speed records in the process, recording a speed of 145.543mph to set the ‘Flying Start ¼ mile’ record and 145.613mph to secure the ‘Standing Start Mile’ record too – both in the production V-Twin up to 1350cc category.

Hearts the size of Helmets
I’ve met many charity groups over the years, but the generosity and enthusiasm from the biking community goes unsurpassed. Extraordinary people selflessly giving their time for others, so they can make a real difference to the local community. I’m sure we’ve all seen the staged gestures “coincidently” caught on camera then published on social media, yet the real hero’s humbly go about their business seeking no recognition or reward.
I met a member of the Redditch Charity Bikers (RCB) group by chance and I’m really glad I did. R.J. kindly connected me with Sam, one of the founders of the charity; the heartfelt story that unfolded highlights the true essence of helping others.
