Michigan Madman

E.J. Potter fit a Hilborn injected 500 hp nitro burning small block into a bike frame. The bike didn't have a clutch!
With the engine running this monster was transported to the start on a stand where 'EJ' wound it up before being pushed off the stand by his assistants!! This was the fastest bike in the world at the time, running 8's at 160mph, though it wasn't accepted officially.

Unfortunately one day the throttle stuck open and despite cutting the ignition it kept on going! 'EJ' bailed out at over 100mph and walked away, though the bike plowed into a forest and was totally destroyed.

There is a book out there by EJ himself, called the Michigan Madman...Click here to get it!
