On 18th / 19th March 1961 Velocette took the World 24 hour record @ just over 100 mph
Sure in the right place, with the right bike ( SV of course ) and the right riders this could be beaten, So . . . This record still stands. Just a thought

For 24 hours ? They'll get your number.
An autobahn would do, but anywhere would be a bit chilly mid-March.

The peages in France are probably doable.

Does it have to be on the road or can it be on a high speed bowl?
I'm sure you could do it on a closed m25 though.

50 years ago was @ Monthlery, so a speed bowl would do - whose paying for that ?
We've got enough .orgers to block off M25 ( or even M62 ) but fear there might be repurcussions. Peages also costly. ![]()

Rockingham? Set it up as a charity fund-raiser and they might give you a break?

Mallory park oval would be the cheapest I bet.
You probably could easily blah this as a charity thing and actually manage to pull it off. 150+ average would be easily done on a proper test facility high speed loop like millbrook.
