"What could go wrong?" Awesome video, what a great adventure.
Re: World Record Land Speed 350cc Build
Wow. No practice run and ran on faith that everything would hold - lol, minus one issue which was ironic. Thanks for sharing a great story that may have a part 2 hopefully.
Re: World Record Land Speed 350cc Build
I asked Jeff if he's going to try to break his own record.
He said he's content with letting others try to break it.
No plans for any other runs at this time.
He's still road racing his hand-built bike with the custom air-cooled TZ250 engine, as much as possible.

Cool video that embraces the Bonneville spirit. I have many landspeed racing friends who say that once you have set a record the little voice in your head starts asking "just how fast can it go? Like he said at the end of the video the bike could be capable of over 200mph. I bet he will be back as "salt fever" will take over.

Jeff raced at the Australian Island classic this year. Also did custom work on the top team's TZ750 engines.
This past weekend, Jeff raced 2 bikes at Buttonwillow. Took 2 firsts, a second, and a fourth.
My bike is hanging out with his race bikes, until the custom pipes are done.
