How about Dave Matson's 210 MPH record from '88, fastest un-faired, normally aspirated?  Talk about old technology bikes, a 1955 Vincent.

Sorry, I still use the term normally aspirated as the opposite of blown.
 
 Just for the record, Dave and Arlene are from Michigan.

Mark DeLuca holds the normally aspirated open record at Bonneville at 203.4 on a Busa. (The only one over 200). One must consider that the rider has to hold on from 2.5 to 3 times as long as the other venues. I put Les's record at the top of the list for difficulty.
