Try DUKE videos (the Britten Bike Story)

[Alex-Corsa]

My brother is a big fan of the Britten V1000. I want to surprise him with the John Britten DVD. I don't know the exact title. Does someone here has a clue where to purchase?

Last week I received the Britten DVD in the mail. I ordered it at Pitstop in Australia

 

What an absolute brilliant documentary! Britten's passion and perseverance are amazing. And the sound of the V1000... that alone is worth buying it.

Yes,but Jaap...have you ever witnessed the beast in it's element? I watched(in amazement)the Britten team w/Andrew Stroud astride, annihilate the competetion of Battle of the Twins @ Daytona in '95 and the same happened in '99 with Lex riding the Team New Zealand Britten. To be in the "hot pits" with the Britten was an honor in itself,still rumbling restlessly deep in my memory banks.

I've seen the britten 2 times in Assen with the britten team. Amazing in it's time. And still is. One britten is still in the netherlands, and has been driven in the bott, but most of the time had so much problems that it never ended a race. They have been to daytona with that bike, but had a lot of problems there too. I think it's in the showroom of the company that owns the bike. I had the videotape, with the britten story, I lended it to someone years ago, it never came back.

No. The 90's were a motorcycle free decade for me. I wasn't even interested in following the races. I regret this now very much and I have to live with the fact that I didn't see the Britten in action, for the rest of my life...

I see I have made a mistake, the dutch britten nr9, did win in daytona, after the team worked allnight to get the bike back toghether. Dutchman Lex van Dijk was the pilot.

Yes Paul,that would have been the aforementioned Daytona 1999 Bears victory...here's a photo of that bike at rest after the victory...the girl on the left was Lex's girlfriend.
