Stephen Briggs fires up the Britten V1000 P001 he rode to second place in the 1995 BEARS World Championship in the Barber Motorsport Museum during the 2015 Barber Vintage Festival, where 9 of the 10 V1000s were reunited.

I've had the chance to ride with Briggsy quite a few times. My old man knows him well and we all rode dirt bikes during the 2003-2010 sort of period, and I bought my first scooter off him when he was running his shop out in East Tamaki. He's one of the more flamboyant riders I've watched. I remember quite well watching him in the Motard class at Paeroa one year and he was backing his KTM in with waaaay more angle into Goldfields Corner than anyone else, then something happened to his motard and he hopped on a brand new KTM Duke 990 (somehow it stayed in the motard class) for the next race and was backing that thing into Goldfields as well. That goes to his background in speedway racing and his old man Barry Briggs. Christ he was fast on dirt as well. Blew past my pissant little RM125 as if it was standing still. There wasn't a garage or bedroom wall of a bike nut that didn't have a poster of at least Stroudie's V1000 up there.

+brittenv1000 It wasn't run at all unfortunately. I really wanted to hear it - the boombox equipped bikes are fairly quiet.
