Like your 2 strokes ?

If so, you need to listen to this BBC Radio 4 programme.


'In 1961, on the brink of global success, East German racer Ernst Degner vanished. Stephen Evans unearths this fascinating story of technology, speed and Cold War intrigue.'

Any of you clever people know how to extract the sound file from the BBC website ? Wouldn't mind keeping a recording.
