To Seta Land Speed Record, Don Vesco Chose PBI Sprocketsl When you travel at speeds in excess of 325 mph, man, machine, weather, and racing surface have to be just right.

PBI Sprockets were a natural choice for Vesco. He uses them on all his motorcycles: antiques, racers, and streamliners, including -hls new 40o-mph Express.
