A record-setting Vespa rider attempted a dangerous trick by trying to pull of the the longest blindfolded drive on a single lane vehicle in the world, on the 46km Grossglockner road in Austria. <br /><br />Rider Guenter Schachermayr had been preparing for the "Grossglockner Blind" for three years, being equipped for the ride on November 1 with a radio and an additional oxygen cylinder in his backpack. <br /><br />The alpine road is very steep and rises to heights of over 2500 metres (around 8200 feet), being named after the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria. <br /><br />However the team were forced to abort the ride after only 15km when slowed down by other vehicles on the road, though Schachermayr remains optimistic for the future.
