XR 750 Ready To Race


This scoot, in my HO, is one of the coolest bikes out there. A 1977 XR 750 Harley-Davidson.

These pics were taken at Hoddesdon's Rye House Speedway at the Short Track UK championships.

Check out Chris' helmet. That's the speed he reached on his BUB Racing Streamliner Seven at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Yup, an incredible 367.382 mph!
