This is the website of the GoldWing Racing project, a team intent
on setting the land speed record in the 24 foot
long Project GoldWing 1500 Streamliner. There are two things unique about
this attempt at setting the land speed record with this vehicle; one
is that it is two-wheeled and two is that it will be piloted by a female
rider. The team's intent is to exceed 300 miles per hour with this combination.
Please Enjoy Your Visit

Kenny is no stranger to Bonneville Salt Flats Racing, he developed
and engineered a Twin V 4-cylinder Harley-Davidson motorcycle that ran
the salt at 190.360 mph in the mid-1980's. This
project has been recently taken over by Bob Alford of Pro Street Choppers,
Inc. in Winter Park
Florida and Bob is now developing the Generation III version of this
awesome motorcycle. Everything is being re-engineered from the ground
up including the frame that is being developed from an exotic metal used
on aircraft. The Generation III engine is currently undergoing the design
and machining stage and this is one motorcycle that you will want to
keep your eyes on. How about a street-ready motorcycle running 250 horsepower
and an estimated 300 foot-pounds of torque! All of this in a streetable
package that will turn heads as they hear the distinctive Harley engine
sound with the addition of two more cylinders. Bob has teamed up with
Scott Owens
Racing to develop a transmission and final drive that will
handle the power of this motorcycle and still give you the reliability
that you will require from a street bike.
Bob's
currently scheduled to debut the Bonneville Twin V HD Bonneville at Daytona
Bike Week in March of 2005. Be sure to keep track of this
project at the Pro Street Choppers website (link below) and look for
it at Bike Week, you won't be sorry you did. There is more information
about the project at Bob's website and the official website of Bike Week
in Daytona Beach Florida.

Here is a picture of Kenny Lyon thanking his district representative
Congresswoman Linda T. Sanchez (D-39) for her work in "Cutting the Red
Tape" with the city of Lakewood, so the renovations to the forty year
old Lakewood could begin and be completed before the Holiday rush.
Congresswoman Sanchez is a strong supporter of women issues, like Title
IX Woman's High School & College Sports. Shown here from left to right:

Kenny Lyon is no stranger to the Salt Flats or motorcycle racing,
his original concept 4-cylinder (not a twin-engine design)
Harley-Davidson™ powered
motorcycle went 190+ in 1982 on the salt (note that this motorcycle has
undergone
a complete
revision
and can be viewed at the website of Pro
Street Choppers). We have included an article on this innovative
motorcycle that was done by Easyriders© magazine [link].
