"Leo Payne was a leading drag racer and top-speed record racer from the 1950s through the 1970s. He was a drag racing champion and set numerous records on his highly modified Harley-Davidson Sportsters. His custom-built machine, dubbed "Turnip Eater," was also the first non-streamliner to go over 200 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1969. Payne was a master at building special carburetors to run a nitromethane and gas combination. Payne’s designs helped S&S Cycle launch a successful line of racing carburetors. " From AMA Website.

The Alaskan Tuxedo

The Forestry Cloth Cruiser was formally introduced as style No.16, the Filson Forestry Cloth Cruising Coat in the early 1920s. By 1972, the Forestry Cloth Cruiser, along with its matching pant, was known as “The Outdoorsman’s Tuxedo” due to its dressy appearance under rigorous conditions. For this reason, it has also been affectionately called “The Alaskan Tuxedo”.
