Finger Lakes Trivia

[dirtysteve]

Who is ready for some interesting facts on the Finger Lakes? As a local resident I thought I would throw some fuel onto the fire to persuade Northeast region members to make the drive for the 2009 rally. As beezer said, "We're all here for enjoyment." This will be a hit or miss installment, not a regularly scheduled program. If there are others with interested trivia or knowledge of the Fingers Lakes feel free to throw it up here.

I chose the first Trivia question for you motorcycle historians out there.

Who was the world speed record holder on a motorcycle and also dubbed the "fastest man in the world"?

Hint: It was 1907 and he grew up in the Finger Lakes.
