Artichoke Posted December 15, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I went to a motorcycle show which had advertised a showing of a Vincent Black Lightening, which I had only seen in vivo once at the fabulous Guggenheim Motorcycle exhibit in NYC sad to report some sort of legal hassle prevented this classic bike making an appearance at the show (or so I was told) I had to satisfy myself with this beautifully restored Triumph Bonneville from 1959 [ATTACH]117339[/ATTACH] as a means of relaxing in the evening, I decided to extract this from a much busier background which can be seen in the original [ATTACH]117340[/ATTACH] I don't now if it was fully worth the effort, as I like the expression of the youngster admiring this classic bike hope you like a larger version & shooting information can be found here M8 Photo Gallery by Artichoke Vinagrette at pbase.com hope you like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artichoke Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted December 20, 2008 that always gives me a grin as well Rollie Free was determined to set the world speed record for a motorcycle and had to strip to swim trunks to push his Black Lightning to just over 150 mph at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats he did this in 1948 & I believe this record held for over 20 years the Black Lightning I saw at the Guggenheim was a gorgeous bike & I regret that one was not available for display at this Houston show still the early Triumph Bonneville was some consolation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
