Just back from a trip in the US and visited Bonneville.



Per chance we happened to meet this guy:

Apparently I was the 73rd person to ask him if he'd seen the "The World's Fastest Indian" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bu9dGRQvJY

When I saw the title of this thread, I had visions of a very fast Triumph biker Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Laughing

Bet the Bulldog doesn't come with an oil leak!

Hi Dave,

I must confess when I saw the "1969 Bonneville" title I thought I'd make mine rather similar.

When I was there in 2012 there was a guy with a record breaking motorcycle making runs. Having visited again last week the surface was covered in water so needless to say there was no activity.
