I am from St Louis MO. I am the Grandson of Rich Willey, who Most might not know, but Is a world record holder.. He holds the world record for the round Australia run... 10,000 miles around the perimeter of Aussy.. the record stands at 6 days 17 hours and 6 minutes.. done in 1987 and still standing.. He is very well known around these parts, And was a staple in the motocycle scene around the STL for years.
I have grew up around motorcycles, and Kawis in particular, As he owned Cycle City ENG here in STL, since 1966, until his retirement in 1997. I am 32 now, and My grandfather passed away in feb.. I decided then, I am going do my thing.. Although mine is alot simpler.. I just want my 200 MPH jacket.. I have raced everything from cars to bikes, to watercraft..but I want to go 200, legitimately..lol
My 14 is getting PURPOSE built for this feet. I know there have been a few that have went fast, I want to do it on a stock motor, but i am going to pull out all the stops.. The salt is a slight concern, and i am going to go up this year for speed week, so I can get some between my toes before i go out to so it next year.
I am going to go Maxton this year, and get a few passes, but my bike wont have the power to do it in 1 mile..but i want to do it on the salt, maybe catch the bug.. I am not trying for a record, yet..lol I just want to go over 200.. baby steps..lol 200 baby steps.
