Freud, thank you for the information about Sam Wheeler, very sad. I can remember seeing his 208 mph Norton streamliner in 1970. It was a beautiful bike, but very scary construction wise. The streamlining was superb. The EZ Hook streamliner was a beautiful design and construction. After seeing Don Vesco fall over at 300+ mph many times, I always thought that motorcycle streamliners were reasonably safe as long as the chutes work in time.
The Bonneville scene has lost an exceptional man, all our prayers and thoughts to his family.
Thanks again for the information, good luck to Marco and crew for future safe running.
