Bonneville Bikes: 868 - 1972 Honda 175

Talked to Carl the owner of 868.  The bike has been bored to 200cc and is supercharged running on alcohol for the first time.  He does hold a record for 175cc blown gas.

I got a report on this bikes run today and was told it was running seriously lean.  More to come.

76.79 was the qualifying run made for class 250cc M-BF was a record run so he is in impound right now.  :-)

Got a message from Carl today.  The bike set the record for 250cc M-BF at 68.772 MPH.  They were never able to get the bike up to full song as they just couldn't get it rich enough to run.  So I am sure we will see Carl out there smashing that record next year!!!
