World's Fastest Motorcycle Riders

[jarim]

Nice list and thanks for including us Finnish fastest riders in the list as well.

On behalf of TeamForceMajor, could you please put "TFM" as sponsor for Antti Pietilä, Jari Määttä and Teemu Tenhula. Also if it's somehow possible to be seen that we are driving a NOS bike instead of turbo would be nice.

Thanks,

jarim

Jarim: I think I can fit in what you ask for.

The next time the list is scheduled to be updated
is after the LORING AFB meeting in Maine this
coming weekend.

Probably also update after the
SCTA Bonneville Speed Week
in August.

Russell: I have a lot of experience, knowledge
and work tied up in this list.

I certainly can't stop you from re-posting it,

1) you would ask first, before re-posting and
2) include what YOU highlighted,
so I might get at least
a little credit for the work I have done
in bringing this information to you.....

Scott

To Russell and others:

You could of course just post the
LINK to this list. That way the
website gets the traffic..........
