## Caption

In 1907, one man rode a motorcycle faster than any human had ever gone.

Glenn Curtiss built a V8 meant for airships, bolted it into a bicycle-style frame, and pointed it down a Florida beach. What happened next stood for 23 years.

Footage credits for every clip are shown on-screen throughout the video.
