    I know where ye are. [skite skite]
    That's a great object to photo tag.
    Happy riding to the rest of you. I'm done for the weekend, I have other plans so won't be claiming it.

    I dont think they would be doing 180 MILES PER HOUR in gravel. not even in 1955.

    Not all 1000 cc motorcycles can do it today. 162 Miles per hour with a sidecar ... and passenger ... big gonads for sure...

    That was a mission. Not easy trying to manouvre a 300kg bike into position down a slope for pic, when you can only touch ground with tip toes lol.
    I'm afraid you guys will have to wait til tomorrow morning for next pic.

    No they weren't doing 180 mph they were doing 185mph

    Historical Account: "Rumor and Sigh" - Russell Wright set a 1954 New Zealand speed record of 140 mph (230 km/h) on a Black Lightning at the Tram Road Speed Trials. At the meeting he met Rapide owner Robert "Bob" Burns who had built a streamliner shell for a sidecar record attempt. They formed a partnership for Bob to supply a streamliner shell for Russell's solo world record attempt, if Russell let him use the Black Lightning for his sidecar world record attempt. In December 1954 Bob Burns went first and set a new F.I.M. World Sidecar record of 157 mph (253 km/h), up from 154 mph (248 km/h). On the 2nd of July 1955, Russell Wright set a new F.I.M. world speed record of 185 mph (298 km/h) on the Tram Road at Swannanoa, near Christchurch, while Bob Burns upped his sidecar record to 163.06 mph.
