It’s amazing what you can find behind remote rural garage doors - wandering around the villages North of LA last week and came across a little sign saying ‘motorcycles this way’. In a small room was a completely unique collection, including (in the words of the owner) “the meanest pre-1950 custom motorcycle you will ever see” - The Vincent 'Black Lightening’ - mean! The photo on the wall above it shows the bike ridden at 174mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, it set the record at 182mph in 1953 - crazy! #MeanMachines #VincentMotorcycles #TheVincent #SuperCharger #BonnevilleSaltFlats #CustomMotorcycle #Speed #Landspeed (at Solvang, California)
