Transcontinental Record Set By Erwin G. Baker
Erwin G. Baker finished a solo transcontinental ride from Los Angeles to Tottenville New York in 6 days 22 hours 52 minutes. He beat the prior 7 day 1 hour 16 minute mark set by Alan T. Bedell on a Henderson machine. Baker rode a standard stock Ave engine cycle and used a time zone adjustment to note Eastern time. The feat cements Baker as holder of the transcontinental motorcycle record, following Henderson’s prior accomplishment.
