Its a race bike Yamaha XS850 1980 issue without the vodka won't even start.
The owner of the distillery personally modified the bike so that it went on alcohol. Moreover, he presented the bike at the annual racing event, Motorcycle Speed Trials at Bonneville, on which the riders set new records of speed and endurance.
Ryan Montgomery has long had a weakness for fast driving and motorcycles. The idea is to participate in Motorcycle Speed Trials visited him last winter.
It turned out that a businessman has everything that it needs: its own production of alcohol, bike Yamaha XS850 and Neil Olson, who was a recognized expert on the race on the Bonneville.
The question arises: "Why is Ryan Montgomery chose the vodka?". Technology of alcoholic beverage production includes compulsory distillation, during which alcohol is separated, which is not suitable for consumption. High-quality ethanol – not that other, as a byproduct. By the time the plant has accumulated about 10 gallons of ethanol.
Before Ryan had to redo stories. His project aroused great interest among friends and sponsors. On the advice of Neil Olson, he adjusted the carburetor to the engine began to run on vodka. Gasoline engines of older editions can easily adapt to ethanol. Vodka is in many respects superior to the usual gasoline. A combustible substance of this type is burned at low temperatures, without overheating the engine. The alcohol burns completely, with no sediment.
To participate in the race bike needed a new bodykit and paint. Sponsorship proved to be very helpful. Novator called the bike "Sudden Wisdom", which is translated as "Insight".
Ryan Montgomery took part in the race in the category of 750 CC upgraded bikes, which were issued prior to 1980, inclusive. To this end, he dispersed the engine on vodka to 98 mph, which is about 160 km/h.
