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

I'll volunteer for that job! I only weight about 125, we could crush that record together.

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!!!!

[ChopperDave]

Excellent Pat, thanks for sharing. Now I got the grins too

 

[GearNut]

Seeing all that just sent a chill down my spine.
Congratulations guys! You made record history!

 

[Lurker]

Wow that is a cool plaque! That is one thing money cannot buy. Nice job Pat.

 

[killercanuck]

Sweet! You guys should clear out some extra space on the shop wall if you're going to keep going back

B.

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.
