These races absolutely fascinate me and while searching around about the transcontinental road races in the 70's and 80's I came across This stuff about George Egloff, who raced in one of the Cannonball runs and four U.S. Express runs. On a Honda CBX and on a Suzuki GS850. For those that don't know thats New York to California in at most 48 hours. He also tied and another time won the I.B.A. run thats held every 2 years which at the time was 11,000 miles in 11 days with a checkpoint every 24 hours. All this on a motorcycle, solo. For some reason I cant seem to find much information on him or the bikes but a few photos. I love this kind of stuff. If anyone knows of any similar stuff lets hear it!
