98 year old World Record Recording
World record for the oldest Motorcycle Racer- Les Harris
Pukekohe, Auckland
Les Harris will be 98 years old in February and just before his birthday he will race his BSA Bantam motorbike at the last Classic Bike Meet at the Pukekohe race track before it is closed.
This will make Les the oldest motorbike racer recorded, in the world.
These funds are to pay for the World Record fees in urgency to have them processed before the event. Let’s get this Old Kiwi on the books!
