Bike builder Ben took Whoops for 5-6 laps at Chelsea after me. Now, Ben you see, is a might smaller than me. He can squish his shoulders into a 30cm span! That's pretty small. So needless to say, he fits inside the full fairing easily. And so he took whoops for her first fully faired ride. To quote his SMS: "She goes like stink". Without bubble, ben was cruising around the velodrome at 60+ kmh easily. He stoppped going quicker due to blindness caused by wind causing watering eyes!
Ben also had a few chain derailments, which is our first fixup. Other than that, the drive system is working very nicely.
Pic is of Ben holding Whoops, with 2 of his Sorcerer fairings in the background. As you can see, Ben is a legend of the streamliner scene in Australia. A perfect partner, except for his somewhat grumpy coutenance on occasions.
