Pursuing the 150cc Land Speed Record

You know, I got so excited posting the shots of our custom bikes that I forgot one of the most interesting things of all…California Scooter Company officially entered the 21 November 2010 land speed record trials at El Mirage dry lake.  Yep, your favorite motorcycle company is going for the land speed record in the 150cc hybrid motorcycle/scooter class.    Mustang did it back in the day, and we’re aiming to do even better!

Bill Murar finished fourth in his class in the Lake Erie Loop (that 654-mile international run around Lake Erie) not too long ago, and we know we’ve got a reliable runner in this 150cc California Scooter.   We’re going to be working some magic on our land speed record bike, and this is going to be tons of fun.   

Yep, we have two competitive events in the next few months….Bill Murar is our factory rider for the upcoming Scooter Cannonball run (a coast-to-coast dash in September), and now our attempt to set a new world speed record in November.    Stay tuned, folks!
