Motorcycle Speed Record - Cormanus - 09-22-2016 Motorcycle.com reports that Triumph's attempt on the land speed record is stymied by bad weather. They call their bike the Infor Rocket Streamliner and that's what it looks like. It sure doesn't look much like a bike! Good luck to them, though. RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - Inhouse Bob - 09-22-2016 Cruise up to Starbucks on that! Needs a cafe seat and clip-ons, though :-) RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - Frulk_imp - 09-22-2016 We're having torrential storms moving through northern Utah right now. I'm sure the salt flats got hammered. RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - Cormanus - 09-22-2016 Hope they're not causing too much grief, Frulk. RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - LongRanger_imp - 09-23-2016 A tornado was even reported yesterday, which is unusual. RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - emptysea - 09-24-2016 I tried to find a more credible source than Revzilla's blog page, but it appears that salt depletion at the Flats is causing some issues for land speed record challenges like this one. http://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/why-this-may-be-the-last-chance-at-400-mph-at-bonneville?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=boosted-posts%7Ctpfn&utm_content=common-tread-news&utm_term=why-this-may-be-the-last-chance-at-400-mph-at-bonneville-post-091416-%7Ctpfn RE: Motorcycle Speed Record - Cormanus - 09-25-2016 Gee! That Revzilla page was worth a read just for the comments!
