How strong are you?

This is just incredible (I would have put it in Real Aviation, but since Jane isn't flying currently)....

I don't take anything away from him, but it is quite easy to get an aircraft to move. The trick is to inflate the tyres until they are at the upper limit they can hold. The rolling resistance is then much lower. I have used this trick to move a 737 with just five people. Still, we were five and he is just one.....

Every time I wheel my little 98cc motor-bike out, the first thing I do is check my tyre pressures, and if necessary inflate them to the max pressure allowed.
This makes a World of difference to speed of my machine in reducing the rolling resistance, as Matt mentioned!

..it also reduces the gas consumption!

The difference is immediately noticeable on such a small machine!

I just cant resist pumping my tyres up!.... ...!

You are aware there is a difference between Michelins and mammaries aren't you Foz?

When correctly inflated, both are good for a comfortable ride...

P.S...Had a fantastic ride all around the Forest of Dean yesterday on my little steed...she did me proud!

An interesting stunt, do-able as you all said, but for a good cause and charity, so 3 cheers to this guy for helping out.
