Denis Manning is a self-taught designer, fabricator, and land-speed visionary whose groundbreaking streamliners repeatedly earned the title of the world’s fastest motorcycle. A lifelong devotee of Bonneville since the age of 13, Manning dedicated his career to pushing the limits of motorcycle performance and engineering excellence.

Among his legendary creations was the 2006 BUB streamliner, piloted by Chris Carr to an astonishing 350.8 mph world record at Bonneville. Earlier, his 1970 Harley-Davidson streamliner carried Cal Rayborn to a then-unprecedented 265 mph, reclaiming the world land-speed record for Harley-Davidson.

Manning also founded BUB Enterprises, producing American-made high-performance exhaust systems that enhanced racing performance around the world. Through ingenuity, persistence, and an uncompromising pursuit of speed, he reshaped the frontier of motorcycle engineering and competition.

Beyond the records and machines, Denis Manning’s dedication to modern land-speed racing and mentorship of future innovators further cemented his legacy. Inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2006, his relentless pursuit of excellence established him as the architect of the world’s fastest motorcycles and one of the defining figures in land-speed racing history.
