Assorted Pictures

Thanks for the folks at Easy Racers for letting me use some of these images



May 6th, 1979 the belly bike becoming the first bicycle to exceed 50 mph. My first world record and with that was entered in the Guinness book of world records. This photo taken at the old Ontario Motor Speedway in Southern California.

May 1979 learning to fly, or so it seems. That's Alan Osterbauer on the left and Gardner on the right. This photo could be of my record run on May 6th. Alan would become very instrumental in the development of the future Gold Rush...a title he never fairly received

  This shot is taken at the Milwaukee Mile in Wisconsin in April of 1990. I'm in the middle racing a Aero Moulton against two far faster bikes....there was a 25 mph cross wind blowing across the track and I used both of those bikes as shelter from the wind. In fact the wind was so bad the Infinety crashed , the lead Moby with Paul Swift driving had a mechanical and then with out as much protection from the wind I crashed, but was able to get back in and still win the race!


  The Markham family - Freddy, Dee and Tanya - My daughter inherited the speed-freak gene from me. She currently holds the World Speed Records for Flying Kilometer Women Single, Flying Mile Women Single, and Top Speed Tandem Junior together with Macky Martin.
