Stunt rider Jonny Davies has taken motorcycle stunts to the extreme, setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest speed while being dragged behind a motorcycle.
Determined to push the boundaries, Davies took on this high-speed challenge using a Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, customized specifically for the feat. Modifications included a rear grab handle for him to hold onto and a thumb-operated throttle to control the bike’s speed while he was dragged behind it.
Davies didn’t just hang on; he flew across the tarmac at an incredible 159.52 mph (257 km/h), faster than most riders can achieve while on their bikes. To handle the intense friction, he wore custom boots fitted with titanium skis, which allowed him to glide across the pavement. At times, his speed was so extreme that his feet lifted off the ground, giving him the sensation of being airborne.
This daring performance ultimately broke the previous record by 3 mph, cementing Davies’ name in the record books.
Would you dare attempt a record like this? For now, most riders will likely keep their feet on the pegs rather than trailing behind!
