    What do you mean ? start with the gay one, They are ALL fvcking gay, why else would you ride one of these slow, heavy, poove bikes ?[/quote]


    That's possibly true, if you want a real V twin, ride a Vincent, not that I have ever seen one in the LOS, or even a nice Velocette single for that matter. Oops! Am I giving my age away?

    The Black lightning was a race bike first built in 1948 A great year for mankind.

    Now get a load of this codger, this is the way real men ride bikes.



    On a cool Monday morning on Sept. 13, 1948, Rollie Free lifted from Harley Davidson the US national motorcycle speed record by riding the first Vincent HRD Black Lightning racing motorcycle to a speed of 150.313 m.p.h. When Rollie's leathers tore from early runs at 147 mph, he discarded them and made a final, heroic attempt without jacket, pants, gloves, boots or helmet. Aboard the motorcycle owned by the California sportsman, John Edgar, this final run resulted in the most famous photograph in motorcycling, the "bathing suit bike" shot taken from a speeding car on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Rollie lay flat out on the motorcycle wearing only a speedo bathing suit, shower cap and a pair of borrowed sneakers. The AMA certified Free's record. Special features included the first-ever Vincent use of a rear shock absorber, the first Mk II racing cams and horizontally mounted racing carbs.

    Ain't shitting me any, he was streaking into Windover to the cat house to get rid of the hardon that he was suspended from on the sissy pad on the rear fender.

    I was there so I do know whats goin on.


    Just kidding, Vincent was OK, Just an uncomfortable bastard to ride and a bitch to keep running, just like all the limeys. Only bikes that were worth a fuk from over there was the Beemers and the Moto Gs.

    Indian was the only real good, dependable motorcycle ever built, and it was built in the USA.

    Marketing was where they foked up.

    don't be so cruel, when people get to that sort of age they count the rest of their life span in months not years.

    Its not bad engine, not a good one either, but a gas guzzler for its power out put and then they put it i the VTR which had a very small tank capacity. Honda generally do things well, but the VTR wasn't the best of their offerings. I had one for a while but it threw me off because the forks were too soft and kept on locking up under compression.

    Maybe because I am a fat cvnt.

    Those bikes were designed many many years ago, when people were smaller, and didn't eat fast food, obviously in a hunting and gathering society during your younger days you didn't get the chance to put on weight

    Thats true enough Mr DD, one of my early income sources while wanking my way thru Uni was as a deer & rabbit culler. In those days the NZ goverment paid you to go out and shoot them.
