There was a site doing downloads of the Ghostrider and other lunatics lapping Eiropen cities but I've lost the link...

He had to lie down on the bike, and wear no other clothing but a tight swimming suit and a shower cap to do it. They weren't all that fast compared to some of today's bikes, but for the day, they were awesome. They were a perfect example of industrial art, too.

Was that a Black Shadow? I thought it was the Black Lightning? Both are absolutely beautiful bikes IMO.
