World's Fastest Motorcycle Riders

Nice list and thanks for including us Finnish fastest riders in the list as well.

On behalf of TeamForceMajor, could you please put "TFM" as sponsor for Antti Pietilä, Jari Määttä and Teemu Tenhula. Also if it's somehow possible to be seen that we are driving a NOS bike instead of turbo would be nice. :)

Thanks,

jarim

Jarim: I think I can fit in what you ask for.

The next time the list is scheduled to be updated
is after the LORING AFB meeting in Maine this
coming weekend.

Probably also update after the
SCTA Bonneville Speed Week
in August.

iB::Aihe::Suomen "virallinen" +200mph lista

Mr. Duck lists the results of the last two weeks (July 2012), and gives us the link.
(It is not clear to me if these results are based on a timing trap, radar, GPS, data
or other method, but we will keep them on the list until there is a complete clarification)

All speeds listed are OFFICIAL speeds. No GPS from “individuals,â€￾

Not all timing organizations use the same speed measuring equipment.

Russell: I have a lot of experience, knowledge
and work tied up in this list.

I certainly can't stop you from re-posting it,
but it would be a courtesy to me if
1) you would ask first, before re-posting and
2) include what YOU highlighted,
so I might get at least
a little credit for the work I have done
in bringing this information to you.....

Scott
 
To Russell and others:

You could of course just post the
