They don't say what the cc is maybe a 650.

There's always BMW and Guzzi...

xoxoxoBruce · 11-03-2018, 02:13 AM

Or some oddball bikes...

Seems like it would have been much harder to balance that way.

His airfoil is upside down (and probably clenched).

It's a technique he developed riding for Indian in the 1920's. On high speed straight runs balance isn't a big problem, wind resistance and keeping it straight is the focus.
After Indian scaled back, Harley said they would sponsor him but then reneged, which pissed him off. He talked the bikes owner(son of Vincent) to loan him that bike to break Harley's streamliner speed record of eleven years.
Taking off his leathers gained him one more mph.

Now you can go Tronish...

Vincent Black Lightning 1952

Not the performance I was looking for, but, it'll do.

Is this the version you were looking for?

Gravdigr · 11-05-2018, 03:54 PM

Aware of Thompson's, but, I was looking for a different performance by The Del McCoury Band. It's a big tune for them.

Thanks, though!
