Put a sidecar on the bike (wheel on a stick)  68kg in ballast.....the bike with the long tail (not legal for
FIM solo I believe) would be legal for sidecar.....the record (FIM) at the present time stands at 206 plus
mph. held by Fritz Egli from Switzerland.........................................................................................

It really is designed for short course acceleration with a big tire, no cooling system etc. Would take many, many changes which is why Bill built it instead of modifying his "streetbike" (his original plan). I have a frame just sitting here.  evil    Larry

I got an email from Bill Hoddinott today - letting me know that the Bonneville Racing News will carry an interview did with Bill Warner will be in the issue that'll get mailed in early October.  If you don't already get the BRN - you can get subscription information via this link:  http://www.wendyjeffries.com/BRN.htm

Following the Bill Warner interview I'm told there'll be an interview with Larry Forstall, a "team partner" (Bill H's words) of Mr.s Warner.

WildBro Bill and Larry -- yet another two of the cool folks that are land speed racers.  And they're regular folks, too.  Ain't it great?
