Greenline Industries Die Moto Project Built by The Crucible Smashes Long Standing Diesel Motorcycle Land Speed Record


SAN RAFAEL, California, and OAKLAND, California, September 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- Establishes World Biodiesel Landspeed Record

Greenline Industries, the EPA Award winning leader in the design and
construction of biodiesel production facilities, today announced that the
biodiesel powered Greenline Industries, Die Moto project motorcycle built by
The Crucible has set land speed record in three categories at the Bonneville
Salt Flats.

Clocked at an average of 130.55 MPH over the two required flying mile
runs, the biodiesel powered bike easily beat out the previous record of
105MPH in the 1500 to 3,000cc category. The remarkable aspect of the record
is that it marked the first time in the Federation Internationale de la Moto
(FIM)'s history that a non-petroleum powered bike has gone that fast over the
measured miles of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The record also goes into the
American Motorcycle Association's (AMA) official record books, as co-sponsor
of the event with BUB Enterprises.

Although only the diesel record is official, the three categories that
the BMW-derived motorcycle now dominates includes diesel, biodiesel and
biofuels records. The record run was set by Mr. Michael Sturtz, The Crucibles
Founder and Executive Director and long time motorcycle enthusiast.

Speaking on behalf of Greenline Industries, Mr. John Kinney, CEO said:
"Diesel and biodiesel power have become true motor sports staples with two
wins in the 20 hours of Le Mans by diesel powered Audis, an around the world
record attempt and now a land speed record. Clearly the increased efficiency
of the diesel engine and the cleanliness of biodiesel are moving the fuel
onto the world high performance stage. We are proud to have been a part of
this remarkable effort and look forward to higher speeds next year."
