<<<Hi Folks, later on I may put some more out on this subject if there is
any interest.  It is a charming story how two enthusiasts in New Zealand
acquired (Russell Wright bought it and paid for it, just like you and I
might have) the 1954 Black Lightning Show Model from the Vincent
company's display that year in London, and achieved the World's
Motorcycle Speed Record with it.  On a narrow two-lane,  DAMP, closed
public highway no less.>>>
