195



I took these pics of my friend Bill's turbo Ducati land speed bike. He ran it at Bonneville a couple weekends ago at 195 mph to get his license to start making runs over 200. During the run there was a backfire into the airbox, (which the rider lays on), which blew it apart at the weld....Sent in by Aaron Fisher.

I was at Bill's shop yesterday afternoon. He was preparing to haul his Bonneville Bikes to Quaker Steak & Lube for a forum. He planned to fire the Blown TR-6 ( 40% nitro ) inside the bar !More on their exploits here:
