Day 253, The comedy fitness conjunction of the 42p Vincent Black Shadow



The fastest standard motorcycle.

And another representation within a representation of a stamp.

Dream machine of Hunter S. Thompson.

I have never owned or ridden one of these.

If a piece of machinery could be said to be beautiful then this fits the bill.

Not subject to the transient nature of fashion.

I can smell the hot oil and get a waft of unburnt petrol just from the picture.

It had automatic timing in an era when people still used a manual advance/retard lever on the handlebars.

I've ridden much later British bikes that still had manual ignition, get it right or hole a piston.

If you can find one for sale it'll set you back anything from £17000 to £70000plus.

It'll be around long after even the most expensive piece of gaudy tat of a digital watch has gone for landfill.

Invest now.  I have twenty, yes 20, for sale, right now, hurry.

Send cash in the form of a bankers draft to purchase this unique investment opportunity.

If you can guess the meaning of the blog title you win a prize.
