World's longest burnout: Time for Tea?

Shameless publicity stunt actually turns out quite cool

Manufacturers are always trying to jump on the social media bandwagon when it comes to launching a new product, but you have to hand it to Victory Motorcycles for this one. The firm's new Octane was unveiled a few days ago in America and to celebrate the fact, Victory has set an official Guinness World Record for the longest burnout.

Stunt rider Joe Dryden managed 2.23 miles before the tyre eventually popped and, if you listen to the commentary on the video, it sounds like his front brake was about to catch fire anyway! Shameless a publicity stunt as it is, watching the video is still quite funny...
