Ellen,
It appears that Bill does have a Bonneville Record holding bike.
Here is what I found while looking back through my old rule books...In
1976, J. Cunningham of Reno/Sparks NV set the record in 750 cc, P Class @
136.674 MPH. In 1977 he raised the record to 138.223 MPH. In 1979, the
record was lost to Michael La Follette of Dearborn MI @ 142.613 MPH.
I hope this helps.
