Vincent Black Lightning Land Speed Record New Zealand/Pendine Russell Wright - Avon Tyres Nostalgia

Russel Wright and Bob Burns on a Vincent Black Lightning setting a Motorcycle Land Speed record in 1955 in Swannanoa New Zealand; both the solo and the chair record. Then Vic Willoughby taking the outfit for a run on Pendine Sands. Remember this record was set in 1955 on a near standard Vincent which achieved 185mph. We're not going much faster now....
