Congrats to Bill Warner, who became the fastest man on two wheels with his 311.945 mph pass on Sunday morning on a turbocharged 1299cc Suzuki at the Loring Timing Association’s Land Speed Race at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine. The 42-year old rider from Wimauma, Florida topped the 300 mph barrier for conventional motorcycles on July 17, 2011, beating his own world record of 278.6 mph set last October in Texas.
Faster speeds have been recorded on the enclosed missle-like streamliner motorcycles, but this is the first time a rider has broken the 300 MPH barrier on a conventional two-wheeled bike.

i've spent the past few seasons building up my tt bike... starting with the bike itself in 2008, aero wheels in 2009, lower, more aggressive aerobars in 2010, and a new saddle for 2011. Wheels Florida
