I see Hank Booth's name in the new Cycle World magazine -- a bike of
his won a HP shootout. The article was one of those "If you see Hank
Booth next to you at a stop light, don't run him for pinks!" stories.
701 hp from a Hayabusa motor (that presumably started life at 1.3L, but
who knows how big it is now). Now I know why he was so busy trying to
locate extra ballast a year ago at the Salt. . .
Congratulations, Hank, on getting your name in the magazine. Now, if
you had got them to refer to you as a land speed racer-type of guy,
maybe we'd get some respect for the sport/addiction.
