Not sure why there's a separate womens speed record but she was going for it.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Yikes, glad she's ready to get back on the horse


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

Yeah, I saw this on the internet the other day, although Larry and not to nitpick here(but I suppose that's exactly what I'm doin' here ), but your tread title is a bit misleading. This incident didn't happen at Bonneville Utah, it happened on Australia's Lake Gairdner.

But yeah, that's one tough lady there, alright.

And which reminded me of the recent speed record attempts by the group running that streamlined Triumph Rocket-3 powered bike.

It seems that effort has been permanently scuttled from what I can make out.

(...anybody know if my impression about this is mistaken?)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
