Johnny Allen piloted the Triumph-powered Texas Ceegar to an outright motorcycle land speed record of 214.40 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1956.
This year, Matt Markstaller hopes to return the record to Triumph and maybe become the first to top 400 mph on two wheels. He’s brought a 25.5-foot-long streamliner powered by two destroked, turbocharged Rocket III engines producing 1,000 horsepower to Bonneville, and flown in TT ace and British TV personality Guy Martin to pilot it.
