Lincolnshire plumber Colin Firze decided what the world really needed was a really big motorbike. A properly big one. Like, one which is reeeeaally long.

So the 29 year-old decided to spend two months building a 46ft-long motorbike which can travel at speeds of up to 30mph - which has now been officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as, you may have guessed, the world's longest motorbike.

"You can ride it like a normal motorbike but steering is a bit of a problem", explains Colin, somewhat obviously.

He chopped two 50cc Honda Sky mopeds in half and extended them using bits of aluminium, as a birthday present to himself.

"My mum Beryl was quite interested at first in what I was doing but by the time it was finished, she was glad to see the back of it", Colin muses.

But Beryl should be concerned - her little cherub is planning to build an even longer bike.
