Dan,
 I can't speak for Mayf (even tho people think we're the same person) but as 
a new comer to the sport I've had lots of questions. Being a bike person and 
doing research for a new bike project the things I'm wanting to know are:
- How fast has a given cc pushrod bike gone on gas, on fuel, blown, fared.
- What's the "norm" for speed with similar bikes, different teams. Not 
necessarily needing to make a record. (show me what the potential is & what 
I'd have to top)
- What's the best a pushrod bike has run? 
- What CC's did it take to do that?
- Have any pushrod bikes topped 200mph?
- Are there any pushrod bike riders in the 200mph club?
- Are there any open pushrod classes in the cc range I'm looking to build.
- Are there any "soft" records in the cc range I'm looking to build.
- What's the best potential for longevity of the project by increasing CCs to 
move up in class.
- What's the best that's been done with fuel in my cc range.
- What make pushrod engine accomplished what/which has had most consistent 
top speeds? Vincent, Harley, Norton
- What's the brick wall point that would need to be overcome by innovation? 
(ie X amount of bikes have tried but never topped this speed)

That's the kind of stuff you can research with a database. You can look at 
the records/runs from all different angles. The existing records lack the 
specific CC's of the vehicle & what make. Two biggies in my book.
