Seems like it would have been much harder to balance that way.

His airfoil is upside down (and probably clenched).

It's a technique he developed riding for Indian in the 1920's. On high speed straight runs balance isn't a big problem, wind resistance and keeping it straight is the focus.
After Indian scaled back, Harley said they would sponsor him but then reneged, which pissed him off. He talked the bikes owner(son of Vincent) to loan him that bike to break Harley's streamliner speed record of eleven years.
Taking off his leathers gained him one more mph.

In leather and chrome
Swooping from Heaven
To carry me home"

:devil:

Is this the version you were looking for?

Aware of Thompson's, but, I was looking for a different performance by The Del McCoury Band. It's a big tune for them.

Thanks, though!

I saw them do this live. Brilliant stuff.

Kind of a bicycle jet plane hybrid...
