Britten+motorbike

= Britten motorbike =

= = =** John Britten decided to make a racing motor bike. What made it special was it was made out of carbon fibre - the same stuff they make yachts and ski boots out of. John Britten made all of the bike's parts himself in his workshop in Christchurch and he didn't buy anything at all. He made the motor by melting metal and putting it in a mould. He made all the plans for the bike himself. Britten's bike was really fast and started breaking world records and winning races in England and America. Unfortunately John Britten **= = died of skin cancer in 1995. By Shay and Andy =
