A Black shadow indeed and in perfect condition you would pay £40.000 upwards so if anyone had one years ago and sold it to buy a Cortina then feel free to start kicking your heels :spiteful: Ogri that takes me back a few years "now whatever happened to that fizzy" :sarcastic:Ummm.... it's a Vincent Black Shadow and it could leak oil on my driveway any time it likes ;-)
And this man had one called Armageddon
Honda were developing all the time and had a 250cc 6 cylinder race bike in 1966 which would rev to 15-16,000rpm, watch the clip near the end. hmm what did we have?
Awesome sound I have it in my mental library, I believe that engine was also in an Osella FA1 for a while. Sounds like thick cotton being torn to shreds inside a large smiths crisp tin, coming out of a huge bank of Marshal amps. I would also go for the motor racing answer on the pub question. It's accepted on a very limited number of days in a year though. All real race cars make lots of noise.
I think it was my fault
Southern Counties too mate. Major Kart circuit over the fence. My first experience of being peppered with falling shot was while sat on dummy grid in 1978.
No.. 78 was painful learning curve. 79 was better. Podium at the British championships! Ah.. Past glories.. Then in 1981 Johnny Herbert won everything.. Sigh..
