No. Sorry, the bathing suit picture was ol whatsisname breaking a land speed record for ANYTHING on wheels. (And a combustion engine) He hit 150 mph. He had previously hit 149, but the force of the wind actually tore the leather suit from off of his body, splitting the seams.
He greased him self down to protect his skin, put on a bathing cap, the trunks, and then proceded to ride like the proverbial bat out of hell. He broke the 150mph mark, something previously thought impossible.
There was only 15 or 16 of the Lightnings produced, and they could go from 0 to 140ish in the space of 1 mile. Whatsisname broke the 150 mph mark in the one mile mark test. The bike could have probably gone faster, but the engine would likely explode at some point.
