I admire your collection and your knowledge of early motorcycles. When I was 13 years old, in 1969, I was lucky enough to meet and talk with Emma Baker, the widow of Cannonball Baker. I got a tour of her garage with a collection of about a dozen wonderful machines that CB himself had ridden and amassed in his lifetime. I politely begged her to sell me just one of them. She told my what I already knew, that they were very special. Her son was there and supported her wisdom, much to my disappointment. Cannonball was a so much larger than life individual with legendary endurance and bravery. Emma clearly missed the man.

@@michaelofsc4143 His record is only in that particular class but not as a "under 1000cc" blanket, only in the S-FA class, which is "Streamliner, Special fuel (not gasoline), Special construction". There's been people beat that speed with gasoline burning machines in the 1,000cc and under class. The only reason his record still stands is because no one's ever built a machine to run in that specific class, it's real obscure, but people have gone faster in the same basic types of streamliner's that burned gasoline in under 1,000cc engines. Carl Morrow went over 202 mph 20 years ago on a Harley that had to have the original unmodified frame but was allowed to have fairings built for it but not a full streamliner body, granted it was a 1340cc instead of 1,000cc but still it burned gas and had the stock wheelbase without a streamliner body, just fairings. If someone tried at that specific class his record wouldn't be around for very long, look at the speeds, there's people going over 200mph on bikes that are stock frame, stock body work that burn gasoline.
