Mikey Martin: On It

This is the visual definition of 'on it'. What an image. Perhaps my new favourite flat track photo of all time. Mikey Martin wringing the neck of his Bonneville Performance Triumph twin. Read about this bike, and the rider, in Sideburn 11 - out now.
I'm sure the photo is from Falconer Photography
This is the message from Bill, the team owner, tuner, builder...

I thought you may enjoy this photo from the Santa Rosa Mile. It is from the semi - Mikey finished 2nd behind Jared Mees. After a bad start he made 3 passes on the front straight and turned faster laps than the leader for 5 laps. That is one determined 19-year-old hanging it out.
