Well bugger me he has done it, Nick is again the fastest man in the world on a bike around the world. Just tried to get through to him but he has cut his phone off as you would expect. I will give him a try again in the morning.

From HQ
After a long wait to hear from Nick, we finally had a phone call yesterday from London. Nick said he was fine, and he'd got the record. In typical Nick style, he had got the record well before noon on Saturday, had taken the ferry across to GB, ridden to London and slept the night, before he called us to tell us that he'd done it ! Never mind that, we're all sipping the bubbly here. We know that it was a close call, and according to Nick, he got the record by just about an hour, but rode 200 miles in excess of the previous record. All facts and figures to follow soon, once Nick is back at H.Q. on Wednesday. Keep looking.

Don’t forget in March 2006 he will be attempting to regain his old record from
:Tierra del Fuego to Alaska
The previous record he held had stood at 47½ days. But was smashed by over 12 days.

Previous World Record:
47 days and 12 hours
New Record to beat is.
35 days
The Trans Americas route coveres almost 27,200 kilometres (17,000 miles) of tough riding, rugged terrains and extreme weather conditions. The ride runs through Alaska, Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina down to its province of Tierra del Fuego.
This World Record attempt is officially called by Guinness, "The Trans-Americas by Motorcycle". It is the ultimate endurance motorbike ride through North, Central and South America.
