Bonneville Stories Part II Keeper of the Blue Flame

Bonneville Stories consist of a series of interviews and images that showcase the interesting, dedicated and brave characters that make up the land speed racing community. This installment of Bonneville Stories concentrates on Hap DeSimone and Mark Boyd, two rascals who scour the alleys and junkyards of Santa Barbara looking for flotsam and jetsam with which to assemble their racing-legal motorcycles. The bikes might not be pretty . but they are 100% green and 101% fun. This years entry was a steam- yes, steam powered cycle Filmed at Bub Motorcycle Speed Trials Bonneville Salt Flats. Just watch!
