@NickDrakeVirtuoso hey, but he later crashed, am i right?

ok, had to throw my 2 cents in, yes john was pulled to 60, yes it does have brakes, and no, this is not his record 152.284mph. and one turn of the crank is 97 feet of travel. I know, i was the mechanic that restored improved and modified the bike for jon. I was also vp of howard performance at the time!
but i agree, the soundtrack just does not fit!

@beerman1957 You're boycotting because of the ebikes going into the event?

@beerman1957 It is a single speed double reduction fixed gear (420 gear inches!!!) no brakes! The bike travels OVER 100 feet for each turn of the pedals., covers a mile in 24 seconds (about 50 pedal strokes). So it CAN NOT be ridden slow. He was pulled to 60mph released and accelerated under his own power from there. I know John and have seen the bike myself.

that has got to be one fuck of a high gear to support that speed and pedal power.
