Landspeed record

[Rat]

I went riding in the Canadian Rocky mountains this weekend with the guys who set the landspeed record in the 750 pushrod twin production class at the Bonneville Salt Flats last summer on their CX650E.

It was fascinating to hear about the challenges, they especially had difficulty finding cams that were up to specs.

They ride newish Ducattis on the road, I was on a borrowed '82 GL1100 and was some pressed to keep up

I actually felt I was safer trying to keep up

Canadian Rockies are an awesome ride no matter what you are riding! My first trip out west was through the Canadian Rockies and I'd dearly love to get back.
