Solar-Powered Cycle Breaks Speed Record

Not even too far into the off season for motorcycle racing, and there's already a cool story.  A motorcycle and it's rider have broken a land speed record.  What makes the record special, (the speed was just shy of 190 miles an hour), is, that the bike being ridden, is a solar powered motorcycle.  Follow the link to check out the story which is mostly in pictures of the bike, and it's rider, Jim Hoogerhyde.  The solar cycle was built by a company called Lightning Motorcycles.
