I've wanted a Vincent Black Shadow for years. It was an awesome machine in it's day and probably the most desirable collector bike ever.
It also has a very appealing name for me.

I can't even begin to imagine the road-rash that guy would have gotten if things went wrong!

A Vincent HRD Black Lightning, Rollie Free riding, 1948
He set a new land speed record of a bit over 150 mph. He adopted this rather risky riding attire after failing to better 147 mph with his riding suit on.
The bike still exists and Free is in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame for this achievement.
Now ya know!
