Motorcycles, in general, are polarizing in the sense that some people love them, and some hate them. Motorcycle racing takes this polarization and makes it even more extreme. But something about the Bonneville salt flats transcends the stereotypical view of gearheads.
Maybe it's because it's a romanticized type of racing on a track that's been in use since 1912, or maybe it's because people saw the World's Fastest Indian and love Anthony Hopkins. Whatever the case, you don't have to be a speed freak to enjoy the motorcycle speed trials at Bonneville, but it makes it even better if you are.
This year, fans can indulge in five days of fun from August 23-28 and cheer on competitors in three classes.
