SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

This is a comprehensive document about building a bonneville bike to go for the 200 mph land speed record.
Using a 139" Orca V-Twin, turbo charged. Excellent pix of putting all the components together, with interesting commentary.

I haven't finished reading it all, took about an hour to get about halfway thru.
