Pat, if you want to hit 80mph get a very skinny short pilot. Weight and aero advantage off the top.

The bike is beautiful and what you all have accomplished...the first time out... is simply incredible!
I hope for the best for all of you as you continue on your journey for more speed and another world record.
Godspeed!

Wow, look what just came in the mail! Right from the SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) a certificate to validate our world land speed record and a cool brass plaque to mount on the bike. Man, this makes all our hard work worth it. I can't wipe the smile off my face right now!!!!

Sweet! You guys should clear out some extra space on the shop wall if you're going to keep going back 
A-PF stands for special construction Pushrod Fuel. It's a production based bike with a Honda GX pushrod engine, and fuel class allows any number of different fuels. We ran the gas being sold on the salt. I believe it was 110 octane.
Wow. You did that with plain old gasoline - that is impressive.
Any plans to go back next year to pick up the Gas record? Looks like you were fast enough for that too.
