Hey Sandbomber, it was good seeing you and chatting with ya at Dunefest. Very nice machines, my hats off. Wanted to share a little something with you regarding "the fastest". As you know, I took the Guiness Land Speed record for ATV's back in June with a sustained 124mph over a half mile. I was beaten by the original record holder in England when he reached and sustained 133mph over a half mile with a converted Honda CBR1100 Super Black Hawk. Well, we couldn't allow that from a Brit, now could we. So, on August 27, 2005, in front of a couple thousand spectators at an air show, we were recorded over a half mile at 138.52mph. We also were timed on one 1/4 mile run at 150.15mph, but it destroyed the rocket engine doing it (see my pix) and I couldn't back it up with the reverse run to make it stick. But, in any event, the record will come back to the good ol' US of A once Guiness confirms the readings from the timing authorities. See ya later![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I am bummed out. I heard you were going to Florence, but you burned up the rocket. I wanted to ride behind you and cook hotdogs and marshmellows.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
