Motorcyclists have always been interested in Bonneville and the quest to achieve the world Land speed Record. On September 2006, a group of motorcyclists made the salt their home for a week, and prominent amongst them were the Streamliners, there for one reason only: to break the Land Speed Motorcycle record. By the end of the week a new land speed record stood at 350 mph, although the old record was exceeded a number of times by different machines on the way. The energy that makes Bonneville work isn't gasoline, it is the drive of the team, each striving to break a record or achieve a self-imposed goal. Well-known photographer Horst Rosler captured the magic of Bonneville for this book - the bikes themselves, the limitless salt flats, the sunburned riders and crew...a book that deserves a place on the shelf of any true motorcycle enthusiast.
