Not to long ago at a bike shop in Tampa Fl, I saw several photos posted of a bike with the name Bill Warner hand written on it.
I took a double take to make sure that it didn’t read Bill Werner, tuner of factory Harley Flat track fame.
Asking the shop owner who is this guy ?
His reply was you will know soon after explaining the guys ambitions.
Now I Know.
Congratulations ! What a feat.
Probably about 100 bikes now have gone over 200mph on that little ole airstrip in Texas, ya got about a 1/2 mile to shut her down past the mile mark. Couple years ago a jet car went over 320. Probably a little safer than street racing on Westheimer,lol.
Congratulations!
And this is a street bike?
Well Bill Warner Congratulations……
Congradulations, Bill Warner! You aien’t no Young Guy either! I guess if you were Younger You might have not gone that fast.
ok people the line starts behind me for the next ride lol
Gee-Zuz 268MPH…!!!
At that speed, if ya open your mouth ya better relax your sphincter real quick,
before ya blow up like a frigging balloon……… 🙂

What makes this a “street bike”? Is it legally registered? Was it inspected by a DMV? What?
