Ted and Gary made the drive in to attend the Bison Rally Show and Shine, answering questions from anyone that asked.
We recorded a short video where they talk about the major changes to the bodywork and motor for this years attempt.
The bike looks fast standing still! Check back in September to see their results!.
“Salt” follows Ted and Gary from the shop in Alonsa Manitoba to Utah’s iconic Bonneville Salt Flats, where they push the limits of their big twin flathead Harley in pursuit of a vintage world land speed record.
Filmed and directed by Ted’s long time friend and past business partner Bill Fraser. Indeed a moment in history as you see the fabrication, and hear the stories that have pushed them to the salt flats for over 15 years.
The movie premiered at the Park Theater in Winnipeg in September 2020. You can still purchase either a DVD or Blu-Ray disc directly from Bill from his website at https://www.navionco.com/

The 2012 version of the Harley 45 Salt Flats Racer.
This little Indian Junior Scout was the fastest of its kind in the world. In 10 months, the Thunder Road Racing Team, under the direction of the head designer and rider, Ted Hector, had taken a basket case 1938 Indian and turned it into the world’s fastest, and arguably a piece of art, vintage 500 cc motorcycle.
