Holy smoke! I didn't realize it was that fast.

If memory serves it was a 1920 something Indian Scout.  At least that's how it began life.  By the time Monro set his land speed record there was probably very little of the original metal left.  Kind of like the old farmer who had owned an axe for 50 years.  He had replaced the handle 4 times and the head twice, but that was still a damb good axe!
