Earlier this month we reported that Colin Furze had attempted another Guinness World record by building and riding the longest motorbike, 72ft or 22mt whichever you prefer, because now it’s official as this nutty, but genial inventor has got the record in his pocket.

Check out the video of Furze and his latest creation in action and we can safely say that scooter must be a real bitch to take through a turn.

The saying idle hands are the devil’s tools certainly can’t be applied to Colin Furze, because the 31-year old plumber/inventor is back with another world record.

Furze, in 2008 broke the world record for the longest and ridable motorcycle that was 14 meters long, but now has taken it a very long step forward, by building in his mother’s bike yard, a 22 meter (72ft) long bike that seats 25.

Just like in 2008, he rode it on the runway at Saltby Airfield in Lincolnshire taking it to the top speed of 35mph, for almost a mile, but it wasn’t an easy feat according to the inventor, “When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it’s almost impossible to keep upright. But once you get going it becomes a bit easier, although it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering.” He also added, “This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time.”

The attempt is still pending verification by the Guinness World of Records.

Remember Colin Furze and how he built the longest motorcycle? Well the mad inventor from Stamford is back with another of his crazy ideas, a flame throwing scooter that not only shoots 12 ft flames straight out, but he can also change the angle of the flames.

It tooke Furze a month of work and three attempts before he got it right on this ultimate road rage machine and the plumber and part time inventor said: “It’s a lot of fun and when I fire the flames out the back it makes me feel just like James Bond.”

Thankfully the local cops got wind of Furze’s latest invention and have already and sternly warned him that he cannot be allowed to ride this scooter on the road: “I’ve been told that if I fire the flames while riding on the road it’s equivalent to using a firearm and I could be in a lot of trouble.” he said.
