Bonneville '51

This 1951 shot taken at Bonneville Speedweek shows a state of the art Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Only 10 Motorcycles on an invitation only basis were invited to run that year. The AMA sanctioned record attempts using the S.C.T.A. / Otto Crocker timing lights. Only three of the rides were Harley-Davidson powered. They were Chet Herbert’s 80 inch “Beast”, Jack Dale’s 45 incher and Bus Schaller’s unsized entry. We think this is the Jack Dale ride. We don't have any results for the bikes at the event. ©AHRF/McNatt Family Collection.
