I have been paying close attention this yr even went so far as to log jason in to FB and he seems very confident that things might just work out this yr ? For sure it seems they have already surpassed last yr so it seems we may be on track to be in the record books once again. Let's all say a little prayer and keep our fingers crossed for jason to giterdone this yr  
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

ya know.....i think that is a very cool piece of engineering no question, but is it a bike? Sorry, i think not,i think the title should be called something like fastest on two wheels or something but not mortorbike. Still a ton of cool factor though.

I agree. If'n you take the "training wheels" off of it, it might qualify, but this ain't no motorcycle. Sure, it's cool, though.

But then was the Triumph that set the record in the 50s a bike or was Burt Monroe's Indian a motorcycle? 2 wheels, any number of engines ? What do ya call it? If you went to DMV for license plate it would get a bike tag I do believe. The outriggers retract after it's rolling and it is then on 2 wheels soooo ?? I say it's a motorcycle and I believe if you asked mr vetter he would agree?  but then maybe I am bias as I want Triumph back on top in the record books again and not that h d motor company lol
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!
