Vengeance Rides with Nascar driver Greg Biffle

February 25, 2005 vengeance

Vengeance Motorcycles staff and Nascar drivers Greg Biffle, David Green and Steve Grissom got together for a motorcycle ride before the Stater Bros. 300 / Auto Club 500 this weekend. The drivers all met at the Vengeance factory in Mira Loma Friday morning for a tour of the Vengeance production facility. After the tour, everyone picked out a new Vengeance chopper and took a ride through the Los Angeles County countryside up to the California Speedway in Fontana, California. Although the ride was short, the drivers all had fun and got a little taste of the two-wheel style v-twin power provided by the Vengeance S&S 113ci power plants.

Greg Biffle driver of the Busch series Duraflame #66 car and the Nextel Cup Series National Guard / Post It #16 car was overhead chatting with Fox News later in the day about how much fun he had on the ride with Vengeance Motorcycles.
