Out on the wide open and bare spaces of the El Mirage Dry Lake, hundreds of bikes, cars and the most odd vehicles gathered to prepare for the races.
This is where the Munro bike was backed out of the van to be seen by us and the rest of the audience gathered.
John was there and so was Lee who is going to ride this beast and try for a record for its own particular class!
Three good things;
I. It was so hot but dry - not uncomfortable but one appreciated any shade that was around.
2. We had previously bought some food as there were no hamburger joints around - strange, that!
3. The roads are rough with judder bars etc but people seem to travel so fast!
How exciting!! Good luck to Lee going for that record. Try to keep out of the sun - although that sounds impossible there. Enjoy the races!! The bike looks fabulous!! Fav!
You can really feel the atmosphere in this picture, the white hot background & blue sky gives a real feeling of space of the open dry lake. You must be rather proud of Lee, keeping it in the family is rather wonderful! Good luck to him in his race. Amazing looking bike, some design will have gone into that!
@happypat It was a normal road bike but they have modified it - like Burt - to go faster. It got a lot of attention and Lee is a skilled rider. Today he attempts 176mph!!
