Bonneville Report, BUB Speed Trials 2011

Got back Friday from a full week on the salt at Bonneville with the BUB Speed Trials, the world's premier all motorcycle Land Speed Event. Records were not broken, they were SMASHED as the surface conditions and weather were superb for record runs.

Bonneville Bound, BUB Speed Trials 2011

Pops and Troop are on their way for a week on the Salt, helping the crew from BUB Enterprises run the 8th Annual BUB Speed Trials, Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. It's the world's premier venue for two-wheeled land speed records, as well as everyman's attempt at setting a record on their motorcycle, no matter the class. If you ride, this is YOUR event.

Your friendly neighborhood THROWBACKS will be there, lending a helping hand at facilitating the timely and safe running of over a thousand attempts at ultimate speed.

Stay tuned for a full report upon their return.
