The fellow who passed over the whole of Australia was also a POLICE officer!..Thats true!
(As for the most others here i donīt have any linkīs right know...)
And furthermore..Don Vesco held the ladspeedrecord for almost 15 year with his double z1300 engined cigarr...
Was beaten 1992 or 1993 if i remember correct when a Harley of all bikes broke the record..(They had 27 servicecars right behind...infact, the servicar DID go faster than the bike!!..*lol*)
