no John, although we have bumped shoulders we have never met lol,,

I'm thinking as her name dosent appear in the FIM listings (thay show history) it may have been AMA ?? ,,

 Last day of the 2009 BUB event she reset the 1350APS/BF, only to have Richard Assen come back out and bump it to 236.01,,

I am trying to establish who is the fastest  women on a "sit-on" bike on salt, at the moment it appears to be Kim Krebs @244.547 2016 BMST,,

Why restrict your search to "on salt"?  Becci Ellis achieved 264.xxx mph in August 2014 at Elvington Airfield in the UK.  I'm sure Malcolm UK can provide more detail.

Achieving high speeds on a sealed "Tarmac" surface is a totally different animal to achieving similar speeds on "Salt"

I am sure we in the Landracing community are aware of what Becci and Mike have done on "Tarmac",   :cheers:
