one question... where do I get a copy to go next to my Hamel seat?   I think it deserves to sit on the K5 wall of history.

either the rider had a GOOD steering damper, or they had HUGE arms !!!  :)

All kidding aside, that's one heck of an achievement. Increasing top speeds and overcoming "rolling resistance" takes a lot of know-how and trial and error testing. It's not just as simple as bolting on a lot of hp....
