On 25th May 2023 Cole rode pillion with Allen Millyard on his Viper V10 home-built motorcycle at Elvington in North Yorshire to set a new Guinness World Record for the “fastest tandem motorcycle”. Their top speed of 183.5 mph (295.31 km/h) gave them a clear margin over American couple Erin Hunter and Andy Sills, who reached 181.42 mph (291.98 km/h) at Bonneville Salt Flats in 2011.<ref>https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/101327-fastest-tandem-motorcycle</ref>
