DESCRIPTION:
Fast machines Sean S. Smith An intersting look at the riders who go for brokeat the Bonneville speed trials,great pictures andsome fun stories, this takes you right out on the salt.. guzzihap said Horst is THE BEST!!. I met Horst at Bonneville when we were feverishly wrenching on one of our sorry-assed contraptions.Probably the Model Car Engine Powered Yamaha. First time for us at The Salt. Horst is one of the coolestlensmen I've ever met. He is engaging, but not intrusive. Some guys stick their cameras up your nose andask you to pose, but Horst get what is honestly there. And he is a delight himself. Not just because he hasa good eye, but because he is a good soul. I can't think of anyone more welcome in our Pit than he. Bonneville is a horribly hot and desolate place. If you didn't bring it, you don't have it there. It. C. Stanfill said Price & shipping concerns!. I paid about $60 for this book - but when I received it, on the back of the book it says $"Price & shipping concerns!" according to C. Stanfill. I paid about $60 for this book - but when I received it, on the back of the book it says $29.99!!! I feel ripped off for sure. Then, I choose my shipper based on their rating and then based on the shipper's location - so that I might receive my package sooner.not only did it arrived way later than I had hoped, but it shipped from the UK! As in another country, not a neighboring State. Very disappointed in the service. However, the BOOK was fantastic & the gift was a big hit!. 9.99!!! I feel ripped off for sure.

Horst Rösler calls himself the “motographer” and the title is appropriate. Every year, Rösler attends all the major bike events, from Daytona Beach Bike Week to Sturgis, and yes, Bonneville. Based in Germany, Rösler contributes to a variety of American and European magazines from American Iron to Freeway, and is currently Editor in Chief for High Performance.
Among all those Suzukis and Harley-Davidsons, a group of bikes stood apart: the streamliners that came for only one reason, to break the Land Speed Record for motorcycles. Motorcyclists have always been interested in Bonneville, but fueled by the movie, Worlds Fastest Indian, that interest has never been more intense than it is now. The energy that makes Bonneville work isn't gasoline, it's the drive of the teams, each trying to break a record or simply meet a self-imposed goal. By the end of the week a new top speed stood at 350 miles per hour, though the old record was exceeded a number of times by different machines on the way to the new record. The bikes, the limitless salt, the sunburned faces of crew and riders - they're all here, printed on high quality paper and bound as a hardcover book. Well-known photographer Horst Rösler captured the magic of Bonneville for this new book. A book that deserves a place on the shelf or coffee table of any true motorcycle enthusiast.. Over 150 bikes make the salt their home for one week in September of 2006
