1953 Bonneville Speed Trials - "Brute" - America's fastest motorcycle at 170.13 mph





Cover: Jack Pine scene on left cover is typical of the endurance tests included in this year's "Impossible Ride." As usual, the Rifle River took its toll in the over anxious souls who put scores before caution. Safe crossings were made by the careful ones. On the right is a surrealistic view of the Bonneville Speed Trials with two of the record chasers getting under way. Photo was made with two negatives. Subjects of each were placed at right angles to each other and enlarged. At the top is the now legendary "Brute," America's fastest motorcycle at 170.13 mph.
