Holy crap!!! Tomorrow I am testing a 1970's Honda Goldwing with a sidecar and a 1948 Triumph to see if I can RIDE for a team that's prepping to go to the Salt Flats!!! (for everyone who's seen World's Fastest Indian... yeah, Bonneville Speed Week in Utah- land speed records, etc.) I am so fucking excited. (a little nervous, too... these are VERY old machines!!) The triumph is old-school race style- i.e. you lay flat and put your feet up on the footpegs that are set reeeealllly far back.
I can't believe I get to do this! I dunno quite what 'qualifies' me to go to Bonneville, but I was the only chick on my moto-forums to respond to this post searching for female riders 18-25, fit, single, to ride vintage bikes in Utah.... all over my other chick-rider friends were too old, I guess. This team has an interesting concept with entering in rare classes with rare riders... apparently they've already set 18 records with 5 past female riders, and are now looking for 2 more. Holy shiiiiiiit...... I'll post up some pics tomorrow!!
Oh- the coolest part? This is on a LANDING STRIP at a mini-hangar... WOOT! (i'm not racing, obviously- just testing... but still!!!)
I'm assuming the bikes look kinda like these-
Goldwing:
and Triumph:
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!![]()
