In 2014 the Team went to Bonneville with two bikes to find that the salt flats were flooded and that the Speed Week event was cancelled. Due to my reservations about going back too soon after the flooding issue I will be returning in 2016 with friends for another attempt. Other team members are returning to compete in 2015 and I wish them the very best of luck !
It is a long journey spent mainly in the garage and workshop where many hours, weeks and months of preparation are required to make a machine fit for the purpose of a tangible World Record attempt. Nothing can be left to chance in terms of performance opportunity, bike reliability and quality of components used. It all adds up to the short few days spent on the salt flats in searing heat and humidity amongst the fantastic machines which arrive from all around the World.
