Italian nutter sets world lake-riding record

Luca Colombo has set a world record for the longest distance ever travelled by motorbike on fresh water.

To achieve the remarkable stunt, the Milanese rode from all the way from the town of Gravedona to Colico on the other side of the famous Lake Como - a distance of around 5km.

Armed only with an inflatable bracelet, capable of expanding like a life-jacket, the Italian rode at breakneck pace at the water and hydroplaned his way across in just five minutes.
