THE WORLD'S FASTEST MOTORCYCLE which aired to rave reviews on SPEED in December 2006 is now available on DVD. The show dramatically covers the 3 best motorcycle streamliners in the world going head to head at the International Motorcycle Speed Trials by Bub at Bonneville in September 2006. The 16 year old record fell several times, and the final outcome came down to the last 5 minutes of the week long event.
The 2 hour long DVD produced by Ignition3 and Chet Burks Productions captures the unprecedented three-way battle for the record from the inside. Helicopters, on-board cameras and cameramen assigned to all the key players bring the viewer inside the action, riding in the chase trucks, getting the saltiest comments, and always in the middle of all the drama. Dave Despain of SPEED narrates this compelling story with the knowledge and understanding of a seasoned Bonneville enthusiast. This DVD showcases a world known by few. A world that even fewer have the ability and determination to conquer. Among those elite are Mike Akatiff's Ack Attack with Rocky Robinson at the controls, 7 time AMA Flat Track Champion Chris Carr piloting Denis Manning's "7" liner, and Sam Wheeler in his EZ Hook streamliner.
Bonus material includes EASYRIDERS documentary about setting the record in 1990.
