Island man sets sights on steam bike speed record

A man from the Island is hoping to smash a world record - with the fastest ever steam-powered motorbike.

Chris Wedgwood is hoping to push his converted Suzuki Hayabusa past a four year old record set at just over 80mph.

His machine uses kerosene to heat steam to more than 500 degrees Celsius, producing 2000 PSI of pressure.

He's hoping to put his name in the record books at events in York later this year.
