    Speed Dreams: The fastest place on earth

    I'm watching this doc right now. Very cool. Bunch of British guys riding motorcycles for speed records at salt flats.
    Anyone here seen it?

                  Thanks Trevor for posting that up.
                  I was surprised how supportive the wife's of these guys were. They understood the depth of what it takes to go there. Very cool.

                      Stopped and played on the salt a couple of time on the way back from Cali after some dirt track racing (4wheels) had a blast out there nobody around the second time ran into Craig Breedlove truck and crew the first time.

                        Those guys that built that #775 from scratch I would like to have build my Kirisutos Pachyderm design. I have a dustbin fairing design for my models that would be a entirely enclosed version except for the single headlamp. I invented and designed these for a book I wrote.

                        During the season that Bama went undefeated I made a commemorative Bama bike, because Alabama has a elephant as a mascot, so my design was usable for that. One day I may do an Oakland As bike using my Kirisutos Pachyderm design

                        But iff those guys built my bike for me I think Id have a good chance of breaking a record at Bonneville. The length of their bike is perfect. I just wonder if they have an electric engine category.

                        Here are photos of my models, now that I have seen this documentary I want to visit Bonneville with my own build.
