I wish I could find more out about the picture with Ronney Householder..... look at the gearing on that bike!

so im guessin Ronney is the guy on the bike and thats his taxi ?!

edit: ronney is the one in the car after all and one bad motorized racin machine it appears according to google. no sign of the rider tho.

Ronney was a famous sprint car driver
I wonder if he raced against a bicycle once

[socal_jack]

That vehicle Ronney is in looks like an older version of a vehicle used in draft speed records for bikes, it has a fairing with a window for the biker in back. Here's a modern version below used to set a 152+ mph record in 1985

your right! I didnt notice that at first

I read about that bike years ago. It sits in a museum somewhere now if I am not mistaken since it did break the record at the time.

Here's the bike and that photo. I took these photos at the Bicycle Museum of America in Ohio in 2006. The newspaper article says his name is Letourneur and he died at age 67 of a heart attack. That's all I can make out..
