Cal Rayborn's World Record Harley Davidson Streamliner on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum
Gob Bless You Cal, You are still circuting Laguna Seca In my mind as I was there in 1971 for the first AMA Motorcycle race there ever. I was on turn seven at laguna and could not belive how you broke the XR-750 Harley Road Racer loose I was amazed.
Sorry we lost you too soon. My frends and I still talk about that race which we will never The american flag still flys around that track in my heart. I knwo the road racers from Japan eventually overcame Harley but I tell ya THE SOUND of the XR-750 coming around the track is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. In short love ya Cal and rest in peace. The ROAD RASH KID AND HIS BUDS, "GOD BLESS AMERICA"!! FOREVER.
