Press Room - D&D’s V-Bike Scheduled the Fat Book Flyer For a Smack Down

D&D Performance Enterprises threw down the gauntlet at the #691 Fatbook Flyer racing team for supremacy and the ultimate record in the 2000-M-PF class at the Speed Trials By BUB located at the Bonneville Salt Flats on September second through sixth.

The D&D / Custom Chrome motorbike, #1160, is a modified V-Bike from Custom Chrome with a RevTech motor slightly modified by the D&D team to produce 116 CID or 1905 cc.

D&D was aiming to take the Fatbook Flyer down and beat their 2000cc Modified Pushrod Fuel Record of 154 and change, which was set at the BUB meet in 2006.

The motorbike was designed to reach 200MPH on the Salt Flats.

This is a chance to prove that a RevTech motor can run with anything on the market; we are really looking forward to this challenge and taking the title back to Texas.
- Dave Rash, The Pope of Pipe

The V-Bike failed to spank the FatBook Flyer due to weather and operation issues at the meet. Dave Rash and Bob Dowdy discussed the challenges at the 2007 Bonneville Speed Trials meet on Bikernet TV.

Team D&D’s V-Bike was built with race-proven components including RevTech® 6-speed overdrive transmission, Paioli adjustable inverted forks, 4 gallon ‘Regency’ one-piece stretched gas tank, carbon fiber fenders, duel carburetors, Brembo brake calipers, Brembo 13" floating brake rotors and 17" Marchesini forged alloy wheels.
