That is great news and a real tribute to Brandon's enthusiastic efforts to modify his Zero and to get to the Salt Flats and set records on a minimal budget.  One nice thing about running an electric motorcycle at Bonneville is that the thinner air at that elevation doesn't affect power output, like it does for IC vehicles.  I wonder when the IC competitors will complain that this gives EVs an unfair advantage.     ;D

Salraway is the only way to go. It just washes right off. But you do need to take a lot apart to get it all out
