Before Evel Knievel there was E.J. Potter known as the the Michigan madman. Here he is seen on his first V8 Chevrolet powered drag bike in 1960. He built a total of seven bikes in his career all record breakers, each one being faster than the last. Bike number 7 was the famous Widowmaker.

It officially made the Genesis world book of records. It had a top speed of 172 mph in a quarter mile in only 8.68 seconds. You might have even seen this motorcycle on American pickers episode with Frank and Mike or they bought the motorcycle in the history behind it. You can still see this motorcycle because they sold it to the Legends motorcycle museum in Utah. 🏁

My brother used to quiz me on it in the mid 1960s. Poor New Zealand - they barely made the world map. (Capital - Wellington).
The wheels rotated and you could see each country's capital
Ecuador - Quito
Peru - Lima
China - Peking (as it was then in the West)
And so on and so on.
