Back to the Bonneville Salt Flats… another RC-51 MotoLady photo by Phil Hawkins. Hair blowin’ in the wind and all. [ more from my Bonneville 2012 BUB Trip ]

Bonneville Salt Flats… BUB motorcycle speed trials 2012. Photo by Phil Hawkins. I heard tell of being on the salt flats during this rain storm. It came out of no where- and at one end of the raceway you could see the clouds coming for you. Like they were hot on your tail, faster and faster. Riding away as quickly as you could, they’d be nipping at your heels… and then they’d catch you. Dumping rain… more than anyone had before experienced in the prior nine years of BUB.

The lovely Phil Hawkins caught me when I stopped near the Triumph tent for some photos with the Honda RC-51.
